Voyager in the Kitchen Sink
Last year at the International Space Development Conference I saw a talk given by Voyager Project Scientist Ed Stone on the Voyager Interstellar mission, in which I enthused about a visual analogy he made to explain the different parts of the space environment being explored by the Voyager spacecraft. During today's press conference on Voyager 2 reaching the termination shock (which you can read about through that link to an article by A. J. S. Rayl), he showed the video again, and the American Geophysical Union was kind enough to post it on their website. You can watch the video here; the image below is a still.
