The discovery came from a group of researchers at Cornell University who published their findings in the journal Nature Astronomy on May 10. Merav Opher, a guest investigator with the Voyager project and a professor in BU's astronomy department, said the hum can be translated to density, which in turn will allow researchers to gather new information about the "cocoon" the solar system resides in, known as the heliosphere.
Voyager 1 was launched in 1977, with the goal of exploring the outer edges of the solar system, according to NASA. In 2012, after making a series of discoveries on Jupiter and Saturn, the vessel exited the solar system and entered into interstellar space, the space between stars. Now, Voyager's mission is to "explore the outermost edge of the Sun's domain."

Solar 101: What's my solar system going to cost? – pv magazine International
Think of your solar system as a custom retrofit. That means the list of unique variables and components can be long, and hardware requirements may result in significant pricing differences.
Previous articles in this series look at how a roof's age and physical characteristics , latitude , and local weather can affect the design and payback of a solar system. We also discussed considerations in choosing a solar contractor . Whether you're new to solar or simply looking to review the fundamentals, this series offers essential information and perspectives to help you choose the best hardware and contractor.

Solar panels: How long will it take to start making money? - CNET
A payback period is the amount of time it takes for you to earn back your initial investment. Solar panels can help you save enough money on your energy bills over time to offset the upfront costs. How much you save per month depends on the size of your solar system, your home's energy consumption and other factors.
Calculating the payback period will be unique to your circumstances due to the variability of the upfront costs, as well as the difference in energy costs based on your location. But here are some guidelines to help you estimate when you will break even.
Solar system installation approved for Dover Community Trail
On an evening centered around passionate comments about the school budget and possible cuts to educator jobs and raises, the discussion to use school impact fees to purchase the $60,000 installation also became a hotly discussed topic.
The installation will allow visitors of the trail to walk past signs engraved with information on a scaled model of the solar system, starting at the sun and ending at Pluto, as part of the Voyage National Program. It will be located near the new trailhead that is currently being constructed at the intersection of Rutland Street and Central Avenue.
Rhino sanctuary receives fully funded off-grid solar system
Bright Light Solar and Sectional Title Solutions (STS) Group is casting light onto conservation by donating a fully funded off-grid solar and battery storage solution for Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary.
Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary (CFWRS), based on in Mpumalanga, South Africa, is the largest orphan rhino sanctuary in the world.
Environmental stewardship is a longstanding focus for Bright Light Solar and the STS Group of companies, and they are both thrilled to collaborate with the sanctuary in this solar energy system feature.
NASA Spacecraft Detects a 'Hum' in Interstellar Space
Scientists say NASA's most distant exploring spacecraft has recorded what they describe as 'humming' beyond our solar system.
A new study suggests the continuous hum, detected by the Voyager 1 spacecraft, is caused by waves existing in interstellar space. Voyager 1 left our solar system eight years ago, crossing the border that divides our solar system from interstellar space.
"Interstellar" means "between stars." Scientists say interstellar space begins where the sun's continual flow of material and its magnetic field stop.
Earth's Core May Have Trapped Noble Gases From Ancient Solar Wind Blasts
4.5 billion years ago, when the Solar System was still forming, particles from our Sun's solar wind probably got caught up in the core of Earth as it assembled from space rubble.
That's the conclusion scientists have drawn after analysing an iron meteorite and finding an excess of noble gases with isotope ratios consistent with solar wind. Since iron meteorites are thought to be analogous to planetary core formation, this suggests similar abundances ought to have been included in Earth's core.

Purchasing a solar system is different from leasing one or signing a “power purchase agreement” with a solar company. Buying a system can be the best option for homeowners with sufficient income, unimpaired access to credit, and annual tax liabilities that allow them to take advantage of federal and state tax rebates that can reduce system cost by a total of 36%.
