NASA | IBEX: Exploring The Edge Of Our Solar System

[saintron60]

It took 33 years for our two voyager satellite's to reach the our solar systems outer shell. They are now sending back data. Scientists are seeing bubbles. People just don't get it I think. They really don't give enough thought to the importance of the statement. "As above, So below. Think fractals. Our solar system is an atom. Our solar system is a living breathing cell. Our galaxy and universe are the same. Just bigger. We collectively are all parts of something that lives. Its biological.

This video is basically just a pre-mission marketing glossy. To see what surprising discoveries IBEX has actually *made*, including "The Ribbon", search for "NASA IBEX Science Update".

Looks like a contract is going on around there. You add me some speed, I don't destroy you. They both benefit from the deal.

i think this guy in the video is chatting shit, they jus fooloing the world, the average population never see's the hard evidence, like they say they landed on the moon how come they never gone bk they have betta technology now aswell, people bleive these guys, wake up!

[Taricus]

@JUSCHILIN1 Uh... We did go back... The U.S. landed on the moon twice in '69, twice in '71, and another two times in '72.... Honestly, the only reason we'd ever go back now is if we had a reason  *shrugs* Which may wind up being helium-3, which is extremely rare on earth, but easy to find on the moon. It's useful for developing fusion technology.

"harsh galactic radiation"

can you imagine in the future if people get like a major upgrade and we evolve with some sort of skin to protect us from almost all galactic radiation? that would be cool. i cant wait to die and get reincarnated to have such an upgrade lol

[Ycampus]

they should send a 20 years old couple to the space and lots of fuel and then the couple would make children and then theyr children would make children and again and again so long that the fuel is gone. then they just would float to outer space and die but they could send us information. that would be GREAT!!!!

[kirox777]

yea, it has to be someone willing to do it tho, someone who is ready to die or someone in prison

[Ycampus]

then they should send you!

[kirox777]

why, id love to, but i dont fit the description so i cant, even if i wanted to...

[Ycampus]

@kirox777 haha :D just joking. i bet you knew already but just wanna be sure xD

[harranjo]

@Ycampus too bad if they did that the kids would be way too retarded to fly a spaceship because of inbreeding

[ruffe90]

What i'v come to understand is that there's more than enough hydrogen in the universe. It's hard to expect what's outside this "bubble" we travel in, there's not a lot to be seen direct whit human eyes. Time as we know it can be very different. What if time goes so fast you can travel away from this "bubble" much much faster than inside. This reminds me of how short life is and enjoy it as much as one can.

[lphalo]

the engines naturaly are very very important but we must have a materia , a new materia, which has much energy or can absorbe energy (naturaly in small pieces and in a level ,we don't like to have a kind of black hole X ) a materia that can be controled , we must use this materia to go at the edge of the universe ,with best engines with hydrogen or some other materia what we know we Never can fly somewhere in the universe (not a long time),go ahead human race make us proud .

[nils2102]

hola, seria muy interesante que tambien pongan estos documentales en espanol

[austpom333]

The best way to move foward now is to implement the already invented next generation engines and do away with fossel fuels. There are people in the USA already driving around with there next generation engines. Get rid of the noise and alow people to think. Technology to travel space will happen quicker.

One reason I am glad we have our goverment . Let not try to privatize everyting.

nasa = genious

duuuuuuuuuuh

Isn't Voyager out there?

[mconcha]

Yes, both Voyager I and II have crossed the heliopause termination shock. They are now in the galactic stream. Readings from both show an asymmetry in the termination. But Voyager I & II were but 2 points. IBEX will take science readings in a cis-lunar orbit of the entire (3D) galactic termination boundary.

[foley15136]

Won't they be fried out there?

[mconcha]

Not sure, I'm not a Voyager expert, but I doubt it. Both were still transmitting through the crossings and I don't know of any problems. The signal strength is probably nothing now, though, so we might not even know.

[erchristian78]

Both Voyagers are still working and, although the signal strengths are low, we should be able to get data from them until at least 2020. Which is good, because they actually haven't passed through the heliopause into interstellar space, they've just passed through the solar wind termination shock. So they're still in the atmosphere of the Sun (which we call the heliosphere). But they very well may get into interstellar space while we are still in contact with them.
