Scientists specially placed in the spacecraft NASA's Voyager 1" message to extraterrestrial civilizations

The spacecraft NASA's Voyager 1 is close to the boundary between the heliosphere and deep space. The heliosphere is reminiscent of a giant bubble that surrounds the Solar system, protecting it from the effects of interstellar radiation. It is the unknown. "The life of the overseas astronomers know only stingy information space telescopes. Has peeped they, of course, a lot: extrasolar planets, star nebulas, other galaxies. But this is a drop in the vast ocean of the Universe. What will face Voyager 1" abroad? Or - who?

Visionary scientists, sending the ship back in 1977 on a journey, preventing any development of events, specially placed in the apparatus of the message to extraterrestrial civilizations. It is a Golden discs with basic data about our planet, presented in sounds and images. Human speech is a brief greetings in 55 languages, in a whisper mother, crying child; nature - the voices of birds and animals, the sound of the waves, wind and rain, thunder, thunder volcanoes. Also on disc recordings of works by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, jazz Louis Armstrong, Chuck berry and folk music of many countries.

Now the machine is approximately 18 billion kilometers from Earth, writes dailymail.co.uk. But as scientists learned that Voyager 1 is located almost on the border?

According to experts at the jet propulsion Laboratory admitted that accurately indicate the boundary difficult. But explained that there are three indicator that the machine leaves the Solar system. One of them is the growth in the level of cosmic radiation around "Voyager-1". Starting from may 2012, the number of these beams started to grow at a rate of approximately 5% per week. Heliosphere formed, roughly speaking, by the solar wind, not letting us in cosmic rays from the outside, but closer to her conditional edge of the number of "other" particles increases.

The other two grounds: changing the orientation of the magnetic field around the machine and intensity of particles flying out of the heliosphere (region of space, where the average speed of the solar wind different from zero). At present, scientists do not know whether these conditions are processing data from the spacecraft takes a lot of time. Using radio waves, the device is still sends signals to Earth. But because of the huge distances they come with 16-hour saderinasanas system, is moving its twin Voyager 2. Him to the border yet far away. And if Voyager 1 was the first time in the history of space flight reached the outer boundaries of the Solar system, the Voyager 2 became the first and so far the only device that reached Uranus and Neptune. The probe is equipped with three nuclear generators designed for uninterrupted operation until 2020.
