• New observations from NASA's long running voyager 2 spacecraft shows our solar system is assymetrical,likely from disturbances in the interstellar magnetic field.
• The discovery came after the 30 year old unmanned probe recently sailed near the edge of the solar system following its twin,Voyager 1,while reached that part in 2004.
• Researchers have long suspected the solar system was bent,but never had direct evidence until now,said Voyager mission scientist Edward stone.



• Voyager 2 crossed a barrier in solar system known as the termination shock in August ,some 16 billion km from where voyager1 passed through.
• The termination shock is the region where charged particles from the sun abruptly slow down as they collide with other particles as a magnetic field in interstellar gas.





• Scientists believe the uneveness is caused by the interstellar magnetic field that is pitched at an angle to the plane of the Milky way.According to Stone - The magnetic field is disturbingan otherwise spherical surface.
• Although Voyager 2 was the second probe to zip past the termination shock,scientists were nonetheless excited about the milestone.Unlike its twin,Voyager 2 had a working instrument that made the first direct measurments of the speed and temperature of the solar wind.
• The voyager space craft,launched in 1977 and nuclear-powered,are hurtling toward unchartedregions of space where the sun's influence wanes.
• Voyager 1,the most distant of any man made object ,is travelling at 16km per second with its twin trailing close behind.\It will take about decade before the probes reach the heliopause,marking the end of our solar system and the beginning of interstellar space.
