I-US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Voyager 2 probe yangena emkhathini wezinkanyezi ngonyaka odlule, iphinda impumelelo yomkhumbi-mkhathi i-Voyager 1.
Ijenali yesayensi i-Nature Astronomy kuleli sonto ishicilele uchungechunge lwezihloko ezihlaziya imiyalezo evela kuphenyo lweVoyager 2 kusukela yangena emkhathini wezinkanyezi ebangeni elingamakhilomitha ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-18 ukusuka eMhlabeni ngoNovemba 2018.
Zichaza uhambo lwe-Voyager 2, okuhlanganisa nokudlula kwayo ku-heliopause (ingxenye yesimiso sonozungezilanga esichayeke ezinhlayiyeni nama-ion asuka emkhathini ojulile) kanye ne-heliosphere (isifunda se-heliosphere ngaphandle kwegagasi lokushaqeka) kuya kulokho okungalé kwendawo yonke.
Umkhumbi-mkhathi uzokwazi ukuqhubeka nokuthumela idatha mayelana nohambo lwawo lokubuyela eMhlabeni. Zombili i-Voyager 1 kanye ne-Voyager 2 ziyaqhubeka nokuthatha izilinganiso zesikhala esiphakathi kwezinkanyezi njengoba zindiza, kodwa kulindeleke ukuthi zibe namandla anele kuphela okuzisebenzisa iminyaka emihlanu ezayo noma ngaphezulu. I-NASA okwamanje ayikahleli eminye imisebenzi esikhaleni sezinkanyezi.
