The Terrifying Truth About Interstellar Space

30:50
Interstellar space is so incomprehensibly vast that two small spacecraft drifting through it without propulsion have essentially zero chance of approaching another star system within any meaningful timeframe.
speaker_2NARRATOR
31:04
Voyager One is headed in the general direction of the constellation Ophiuchus and will pass within approximately one point six light years of a star called Gliese four forty five in roughly forty thousand years.
speaker_2NARRATOR
31:17
It will not come close enough for gravitational capture.
speaker_2NARRATOR
31:21
It will not come close enough for detection by any technology we can currently envision at that star.
speaker_2NARRATOR
32:55
That crossing happened over a decade ago.
speaker_2NARRATOR
32:58
Since then Voyager One has traveled an additional distance roughly equivalent to the span between the Sun and Uranus yet it remains within the immediate vicinity of the Heliopause in galactic terms.
speaker_2NARRATOR
33:11
The nearest star is still over four light years away At its current speed even the nearest star would require a journey measured not in centuries but in tens of thousands of years.
speaker_2NARRATOR
33:23
The spacecraft has been in interstellar space for more than a decade and has traversed an almost negligible fraction of the gap to the nearest neighboring star.

The Terrifying Truth About What Lies Beyond Our Solar System

To put this in perspective, the interstellar magnetic field threading the local interstellar cloud is roughly 100,000 times weaker than the magnetic field at Earth's surface.
speaker_4NARRATOR
49:23
It is so weak that human instruments capable of measuring it had to be designed with extraordinary sensitivity, and yet this extraordinarily weak field organises the flow of interstellar plasma across distances of light years.
speaker_4NARRATOR
49:37
and channels the propagation of galactic cosmic rays across the entire local galactic neighbourhood.
speaker_4NARRATOR
49:42
The magnetometer data also revealed something physically intriguing about the heliopause itself.

The local interstellar cloud is itself embedded within a much larger structure called the local bubble.
speaker_4NARRATOR
69:07
The local bubble is a cavity in the broader interstellar medium of the Milky Way.
speaker_4NARRATOR
69:12
an irregularly shaped region of dramatically lower than average interstellar density that extends approximately 300 light years in its shorter dimension and perhaps 1,000 light years or more in its longest extent.
speaker_4NARRATOR
69:26
The cavity is ancient.
