New observations from Voyager 1 indicate the
spacecraft is approaching a formerly unexplored region
at the very edge of our solar system. These observations
and what they may infer are the subjects of the next

1:00 p.m. EST.

The SSU will be in the James E. Webb Auditorium at NASA
Headquarters, 300 E Street SW, Washington. NASA TV will carry
the SSU live with two-way question-and-answer capability for
reporters covering the event from participating agency
centers.

Panelists for the SSU:
