Summary of Voyager Acaba de Detectar una Estructura Masiva en el Borde del Sistema Solar

00:00:00 - 00:20:00

The Voyager 2 spacecraft has discovered a massive structure outside of our solar system, beyond the heliosphere that protects our solar system from harmful radiation and energy. The discovery has opened up new possibilities for space exploration and challenged our existing understanding of the boundaries and behavior of our solar system. This structure provides insights into the effects of the heliopause on spacecraft traveling through the outer solar system and helps us imagine the journey of our sun through the galaxy. The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft have been operating for over 40 years and their energy source is expected to decrease due to various factors. Despite this, engineers have developed a plan to continue managing the instrumentation and data collection from the probes, but decisions must be made regarding the mission's continuation.

• 00:00:00 In this section, the video discusses the discovery of a massive wall of fire by the Voyager 2 spacecraft as it crossed the edge of our solar system. The wall of fire was caused by the interaction of the solar wind and charged particles from the sun with the magnetic field of the solar system. This event has helped scientists learn more about the boundary of our solar system and the behavior of the sun. The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft have been able to continue mapping the heliosphere, which is the region of space influenced by the sun's wind and magnetic field, for over 40 years by using radioisotope thermoelectric generators. These generators convert the heat produced from the decay of plutonium-238 into electrical energy. The Voyager spacecraft has also been able to use tiny rocket boosters to maneuver and communicate with Earth. This discovery has opened up new possibilities for space exploration and has challenged some of our existing understanding of the boundaries and behavior of our solar system.
• 00:05:00 In this section, the Voyager 2 spacecraft has detected a massive structure outside of our solar system. The heliosphere protects our solar system from much of the harmful radiation and energy from the galaxy. However, it also defines the limit of where our solar system's objects must operate. The discovery of this massive structure outside of our solar system is important because it can help us imagine the journey of our sun through the galaxy and how other stars may act in the same manner. Earlier, Voyager 2 encountered some issues with its instruments when crossing the heliopause, but they were able to observe important data about the transition. The discovery of this massive structure also provides insight into the effects of the heliopause on spacecraft traveling through the outer solar system.
• 00:10:00 In this section, it is discussed how the energy supply of the Voyager spacecraft is expected to decrease due to various factors. The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are now over 87.7 years old and their energy source is expected to decrease by 7 percent per year. This is due to the decreasing efficiency of thermopares and the progressive degradation of various electronic components in the spacecraft. me
• 00:15:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Voyager Acaba de Detectar una Estructura Masiva en el Borde del Sistema Solar", the new findings of the Voyager 2 spacecraft are discussed. Voyager 2 has discovered two new moons and four new rings of Saturn, as well as a magnetosphere inclined at 55 degrees outside the center and ecliptic plane. The spacecraft detected strong winds of up to 450 miles per hour (724 kilometers per hour) on the planet Uranus and evidence of a subsurface ocean of hot water near the surface of its stormiest moon, Miranda. Additionally, Voyager 2 captured spectacular photos of other moons, including Veronis Ariel, Umbriel, and Titania on Uranus. The encounter with Saturn concluded the planetary exploration of the Voyager 2 spacecraft, which emperorRobo points out, lasted 12 years in deep space and performed a virtual grand tour of the main goals reached. After the encounter with Neptune, Voyager 2 continued its journey in a direction below the plane of the ecliptic, outside the solar system. The instruments of the Voyager 2 spacecraft were put in low-consumption mode for energy conservation. After the encounter with Neptune, Voyager 2 enters the heliopausa, a boundary beyond which the solar wind slows down and dissipates.
• 00:20:00 In this section, the host of the video provides an update on the Voyager 1 space probe, which is currently located millions of miles away from Earth. Due to the distance, it takes over 17 hours for signals from the probe to reach us. Despite this, the engineers of the mission have developed a plan to continue managing the instrumentation and data collection from the probe, requiring difficult decisions to be made. The host then opens the floor for comments from viewers on the durability and success of the Voyager mission.
