- Recent data has indicated a drastic increase of charged particles from outside our solar system (25% increase between January 09 and January 2012)
- 9% increase in cosmic rays since for the month of May
- It's currently 11 billion miles away from the Earth
- NASA says that we'll truly know when the Voyager crosses out of the solar system when it begins detecting magnetism running "North-South" instead of "East-West"

And on Voyager 1 is a golden record, providing various information/greetings, such as the fact that it originates from a solar system with nine planets.

I know that feeling. I spent like 3 hours reading up on the Voyager program and other similar missions when I read this

We need to go hunt down and destroy that satellite, so the Covenant won't discover the location of earth!
