NASA Voyager Status Update on Voyager 1 Location

"The Voyager team is aware of reports today that NASA's Voyager 1 has left
the solar system," said Edward Stone, Voyager project scientist based at
the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif. "It is the
consensus of the Voyager science team that Voyager 1 has not yet left the
solar system or reached interstellar space. In December 2012, the Voyager
science team reported that Voyager 1 is within a new region called 'the
magnetic highway' where energetic particles changed dramatically. A change
in the direction of the magnetic field is the last critical indicator of
reaching interstellar space and that change of direction has not yet been
observed."
