Unexpected observations due to Interstellar warming?

"Voyager 1 and 2 have roughly five years before they'll lose the use of their scientific instruments"

Apparently that is when the lease runs out and Rent-A-Center wants their instruments back.

How far from earth is Voyager 1 now? How long does its radio transmissions take to reach us? Find out here:

The researchers also discovered that solar material was “leaking” out into the interstellar medium. “That was very different than what happened with Voyager 1

Damn it! NASA punched a whole in the cage the aliens are keeping us in!

Duh. Its because of the hole Voyager I made when it broke out of the solar system. And now there are two holes.

Ancient man thought the earth was flat and covered by a dome with lights glued to the dome. They were so primitive.

We now know that the earth is a globe and one of several globes circling a star inside a big sphere (heliopause) with lights glued all over it.

Except the voyagers punched two holes in the heliopause. It was easy because, unlike the moon, the heliopause really IS made of cheese.

"solar material "leaking" out into the interstellar medium"

Look to the EPA for further bans and phase outs of products that could deplete our solar material.

Got to close up that hole in our interstellar boundary heliopause.

A Klingon warship will find and vaporize at least one of them eventually.
