OK, I'm a bit on the slow side but I blame my travels to Melbourne and having so much fun at a wedding and fellowshipping =)
NASA has finally announced that Voyager 1 has left the solar system!
This, after scientists weren't quite sure how to interpret the data which seemed to indicate that it sometimes was still in the solar system and sometimes not. But now NASA thinks that Voyager 1 has passed the heliopause and is currently travelling through interstellar medium!
I guess we could add one more to the tally at http://xkcd.com/1189/ and hope we don't have to add any more =P
Also NASA news, they have 3 candidate asteroids for potential exploration by bringing it to moon orbit or something like L1/L4 and sending astronauts to do some science on it!
And if you haven't seen this photo bomb yet, something more light-hearted =P
