Voyager 1 Has Entered 'Cosmic Purgatory,' Where No Probe Has Gone Before. More than three decades after launching from Earth, Voyager 1 is about to leave the solar system.
The probe, which was originally launched along with companion spacecraft Voyager 2 in 1977, has entered a new and uncharted region of space between our solar system and the interstellar space beyond that NASA is calling a kind of "cosmic purgatory," the Telegraph reports. The Voyager missions were launched to study Jupiter and Saturn, but thus far they have just kept on trucking toward the far reaches of interstellar space. Each has enough fuel on board to keep going until 2020, when it is estimated Voyager 1 will be some 12.4 billion miles away from the sun. For now, Voyager 1 is about 11 billion miles from the sun and traveling at just less than 11 miles per second, beaming back data across that distance as it goes. Can a Windows Phone Web demo win over iPhone and Android users? Keen to get consumers to take a look at Windows Phone, Microsoft has released a browser-based demo of its smartphone operating system for iPhone and Android users.
The Web site gives users of these competing platforms a taste of the Windows Phone look and feel. The Web site is not an "application" in any sense; it's an HTML and JavaScript mock-up of the Windows Phone user interface, populated with dummy data. There are eight sections in total: phone, people (contacts), messaging, e-mail, calendar, a pinned contact group, Local Scout, and pictures.
Each section gives you a brief walk-through, with on-screen prompts showing where to tap or swipe next to see the next screen, and each shows off some of the features that makes Windows Phone a little different from Android or iOS: the Facebook integration, face tagging, application integration, inbox linking, and so on.
