      Well, it isn't the Visible V8, but still pretty cool.

        I got them all right but a couple were close calls.

              Seems an ignominious end for such a notable ship.

                    ... both spacecraft recorded temperatures between 30,000 and 50,000 kelvin (54,000 to 90,000 degrees Fahrenheit) in this area, ...

                    Quite surprised that the two spacecrafts could survive such high heat!

                      They most definitely did not. They would have measured it from a safe distance.

                        That’s not what the article stated. It said that both craft have passed through the heliosphere. It’s not anything unexpected. It’s been more than theorized, the question was really just how far out it was located. I admit to being surprised that have traveled that far.
