5 Things About Interstellar Space

The video explores interstellar space, the region between stars, and its complexity. It explains the solar system's structure, the solar wind, and how interstellar space begins at the edge of star bubbles. Despite high temperatures due to fast-moving particles, interstellar space can be cold due to sparse particle distribution. The video highlights the Voyager probes, the first human-made objects in interstellar space, carrying golden records with Earth's messages. It concludes with an invitation to learn more through NASA Science Live.
