Goddard TV Video Tape: G2007-079 -- Voyager 2 Enters the Final Frontier of the Solar System

Movie

Title
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 headed on different paths out of the Solar System toward interstellar space. Traveling at different speeds and in different directions, Voyager 1 encountered the termination shock at 94 astronomical units (AU) and Voyager 2 encountered it at only 84 AU. The result, as seen in this combination of an artist's concept and a researcher's model, is a somewhat 'squashed' picture of the solar system. Voyager 2 Proves Solar System is Squashed
