The weird space that lies outside our Solar System
The weird space that lies outside our Solar System - BBC FutureThe mysterious dark vacuum of interstellar space is finally being revealed by two intrepid spacecraft that have become the first human-made objects to leave our Solar System.
Until recently, it was somewhere that humankind could only peer into from afar. Astronomers paid it only passing attention, preferring instead to focus their telescopes on the glowing masses of our neighbouring stars, galaxies and nebula.
But two spacecraft, built and launched in 1970s, have for the past few years been beaming back our first glimpses from this strange region we call interstellar space. As the first man-made objects to leave our Solar System, they are venturing into uncharted territory, billions of miles from home. No other spacecraft have travelled as far.

Don't the BBC know the spacecraft names? And which of the Voyagers was shot up by a Klingon vandal. No, I dont know either. And I thought both craft data only, takes 16 hours to reach earth.
