It's kind of disingenuous to present this as an impressive prediction: "the data are changing in ways that the team didn't expect". https://phys.org/news/2012-1

It's kind of disingenuous to present this as an impressive prediction: "the data are changing in ways that the team didn't expect". https://phys.org/news/2012-10-voyager-left-solar.html https://phys.org/news/2012-10-voyager-left-solar.html Also, looking at the voyager-1 data I would expect that voyager-2 is not yet out. The rate for voyager-2 only dropped to ~17 particles/sec which is more similar to the "false starts" seen in the voyager-1 data. From the article I got the impression these dips are only seen right at the heliopause.
