Human civilization reaches beyond the solar system as Voyager 1 enters unknown space More than 35 years after leaving Earth, scientists say the Voyager 1 spacecraft appears to have left our solar system. Astronomers funded by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory today announced their study, reporting that Voyager 1 measured drastic changes in radiation levels — an indication that the spacecraft has left the wind of the Sun’s energetic particles behind, traveling into unknown space.
