#NASA #Voyager1 Launched Mon, 05 Sept 1977. The concept of the #GrandTour began in 1964, when #GaryFlandro of the #JetPropulsionLaboratory (#JPL) noted that an alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune that would occur in the late 1970s would enable a single spacecraft to visit all of the outer planets by using #GravityAssists. The particular alignment occurs once every 175 years. The two spacecraft that launched retained the same mission concept. Voyager 1's course was optimized for Saturn’s moon Titan flyby and Voyager 2 for the Grand Tour. Voyager 2 would reach Saturn nine months after Voyager 1, giving plenty of time to decide if it should proceed with the Grand Tour. And carrying #GoldDisc records. Distance from Earth 23,546,768,809 km Distance from Sun 157 AU Velocity (from the Sun) 16.9995 kps (61198.2 kph) One-Way Light Time 21:19:13 (hh:mm:ss) On Aug. 25, 2012, #Voyager 1 flew beyond the heliopause and entered #InterstellarSpace, making it the first human-made object to explore this new territory. At the time, it was at a distance of about 122 AU, or about 18 billion kilometres from the sun. This kind of interstellar exploration is the ultimate goal of the #VoyagerInterstellarMission. Voyager 2, which is traveling in a different direction from Voyager 1, crossed the heliopause into interstellar space on November 5, 2018. The Voyager spacecraft are still communicating through the #DeepSpaceNetwork and obtaining useful interplanetary, and possibly interstellar, fields, particles, and waves science data until around the year 2025 when the spacecraft's ability to generate adequate electrical power for continued science instrument operation will come to an end. https://www.instagram.com/p/CiHU3szJFu5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The #beautifulthings that haunt me in this life are not easily to explain to average every day common folk; because the #phenomena that #hauntsme is closer to far away - off planet, beyond the solar system and stems from deep interstellar space. I’m glad to be down in Southern Arizona in the Valley of the Sun where America’s most famous mass sighting of the #PhoenixLights occurred. . #deepspace #interstellarspace #galaxies #nasa #deepfield #keplertelescope #alienlife #extraterrestriallife #natearizona #talkingtree #arizonaman #hauntinglybeautiful (at Gilbert, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1m0ZJilww_/?igshid=ws8cb4pfilcd

Re-Imagining Coltrane's Interstellar Space In September of 2016, we asked two artists, tenor saxophonist, Terry Lawson and drummer, Alan Nelson to take on the challenge of interpreting John Coltrane’s groundbreaking, 1967 album, entitled, "Interstellar Space.” Interstellar Space presents an unrelenting, torrent of sound produced by a duo of John Coltrane on tenor saxophone and percussion and Philadelphian, Rashied Ali on drums. Many critics and fans alike were uninterested in Coltrane's new direction. However, many young musicians all around the world were fascinated with the energy and the freedom that this new approach provided and would follow suit, expanding on many of Coltrane's ideas during the 1970s. PJP is proud to share the music created by these gentlemen that afternoon on the FREE mixtape, Re-Imagining Interstellar Space.

This is a wide-field view of the star-forming region in the constellation of Cepheus. The Elephant Trunk Nebula appears here near the center as a small dark circular cloud-outline surrounding a bright star. It is close by at 2,400 light years distance.

Voyager: The Space Between

Our Voyager 1 spacecraft officially became the first human-made object to venture into interstellar space in 2012. 

Whether and when our Voyager 1 spacecraft broke through to interstellar space, the space between stars, has been a thorny issue. 

In 2012, claims surfaced every few months that Voyager 1 had “left our solar system.” Why had the Voyager team held off from saying the craft reached interstellar space until 2013?

Basically, the team needed more data on plasma, which is an ionozied gas that exists throughout space. (The glob of neon in a storefront sign is an example of plasma).

Plasma is the most important marker that distinguishes whether Voyager 1 is inside the solar bubble, known as the heliosphere.  The heliosphere is defined by the constant stream of plasma that flows outward from our Sun – until it meets the boundary of interstellar space, which contains plasma from other sources.

Adding to the challenge: they didn’t know how they’d be able to detect it.

No one has been to interstellar space before, so it’s  like traveling with guidebooks that are incomplete.

Additionally, Voyager 1’s plasma instrument, which measures the density, temperature and speed of plasma, stopped working in 1980, right after its last planetary flyby.

When Voyager 1 detected the pressure of interstellar space on our heliosphere in 2004, the science team didn’t have the instrument that would provide the most direct measurements of plasma. 

Voyager 1 Trajectory

Instead, they focused on the direction of the magnetic field as a proxy for source of the plasma. Since solar plasma carries the magnetic field lines emanating from the Sun and interstellar plasma carries interstellar magnetic field lines, the directions of the solar and interstellar magnetic fields were expected to differ.

Voyager 2 Trajectory

In May 2012, the number of galactic cosmic rays made its first significant jump, while some of the inside particles made their first significant dip. The pace of change quickened dramatically on July 28, 2012. After five days, the intensities returned to what they had been. This was the first taste test of a new region, and at the time Voyager scientists thought the spacecraft might have briefly touched the edge of interstellar space.

By Aug. 25, when, as we now know, Voyager 1 entered this new region for good, all the lower-energy particles from inside zipped away. Some inside particles dropped by more than a factor of 1,000 compared to 2004. However, subsequent analysis of the magnetic field data revealed that even though the magnetic field strength jumped by 60% at the boundary, the direction changed less than 2 degrees. This suggested that Voyager 1 had not left the solar magnetic field and had only entered a new region, still inside our solar bubble, that had been depleted of inside particles.

Then, in April 2013, scientists got another piece of the puzzle by chance. For the first eight years of exploring the heliosheath, which is the outer layer of the heliosphere, Voyager’s plasma wave instrument had heard nothing. But the plasma wave science team had observed bursts of radio waves in 1983 and 1984 and again in 1992 and 1993. They determined these bursts were produced by the interstellar plasma when a large outburst of solar material would plow into it and cause it to oscillate.

It took about 400 days for such solar outbursts to reach interstellar space, leading to an estimated distance of 117 to 177 AU (117 to 177 times the distance from the Sun to the Earth) to the heliopause.

Then on April 9, 2013, it happened: Voyager 1’s plasma wave instrument picked up local plasma oscillations. Scientists think they probably stemmed from a burst of solar activity from a year before. The oscillations increased in pitch through May 22 and indicated that Voyager was moving into an increasingly dense region of plasma.

The above soundtrack reproduces the amplitude and frequency of the plasma waves as “heard” by Voyager 1. The waves detected by the instrument antennas can be simply amplified and played through a speaker. These frequencies are within the range heard by human ears.

When they extrapolated back, they deduced that Voyager had first encountered this dense interstellar plasma in Aug. 2012, consistent with the sharp boundaries in the charged particle and magnetic field data on Aug. 25.

In the end, there was general agreement that Voyager 1 was indeed outside in interstellar space, but that location comes with some disclaimers. They determined the spacecraft is in a mixed transitional region of interstellar space. We don’t know when it will reach interstellar space free from the influence of our solar bubble.

Voyager 1, which is working with a finite power supply, has enough electrical power to keep operating the fields and particles science instruments through at least 2020, which will make 43 years of continual operation.

Voyager 1 will continue sending engineering data for a few more years after the last science instrument is turned off, but after that it will be sailing on as a silent ambassador. 

In about 40,000 years, it will be closer to the star AC +79 3888 than our own Sun.

And for the rest of time, Voyager 1 will continue orbiting around the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, with our Sun but a tiny point of light among many.

🎬 #interstellar In fact, Nolan wanted the film to be as scientifically accurate as possible. “While Chris Nolan was rewriting his brother’s script, he wanted to get a handle on the science at the heart of his story. So he started meeting with Thorne. Over the course of a couple months in early 2013, Thorne and Nolan delved into what the physicist calls ‘the warped side of the universe’—curved spacetime, holes in the fabric of reality, how gravity bends light. “The story is now essentially all Chris and Jonah’s,” Thorne says. “But the spirit of it, the goal of having a movie in which science is embedded in the fabric from the beginning—and it’s great science—that was preserved.'” #interstellar #interstellarmovie #interstellaredit #interstellarspace #ınterstellar #interstellarmemes #christophernolanfilm #christophernolanfans #christophernolanmovie #christophernolanbatman #spacemovies #spacemoviesrock #spacemoviesarethebestmovies #bingewatch #bingewatchingnetflix #mustwatchmovies #mustwatchmoviesyouhaventseen #murphyslaw https://www.instagram.com/p/B-3jnLnFEZz/?igshid=1km7db5ftsvin
