The award recipients will focus on grassroots outreach to the specific populations and/or communities in the states they are serving. These awards, in addition to $125 million awarded in June, establish, expand and sustain community-based efforts to mobilize community outreach workers, community health workers, patient navigators, social support specialists and others to increase vaccinations. In July 2021, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded $121 million in American Rescue Plan funding to support 127 awards to support trusted voices in local communities in sharing information about vaccines, building vaccine confidence, and addressing barriers to vaccination for individuals in underserved communities.
from Canada,” said Don Gurnett, professor of physics at the University of Iowa. The electromagnetic junction just outside the heliosphere was thought to be a deeper transitional place of intermingling cosmic weather, but Voyager 2’s plasma wave instrument - built by University of Iowa researchers - detected sharp jumps in plasma density, much like two different fluids coming into contact with one another.”Think of a cold front that forms when a very cold air mass comes down to the U.S. “We will see a transition from the magnetic field inside to a different magnetic field outside, and we continue to have surprises compared to what we had expected.”
“This is a very exciting time for us,” California Institute of Technology physicist Edward Stone, project manager of the Voyager program, told reporters. Plasma - the fourth state of matter after solids, liquids and gases - exists in the solar system as a soup of the charged particles beaming continuously outward from the sun and clashing with interstellar plasma that darts inward from other cosmic events like stellar explosions. The researchers said the heliopause appeared to be much thinner than expected. Voyager 2’s scientific instruments detected abrupt differences in plasma density and magnetic particles upon crossing the heliopause, the researchers said. The boundary of the solar system - the place where the solar wind ends and interstellar space begins - is called the heliopause. The solar wind - the unending flow of charged particles emanating from the outer atmosphere of the sun - creates an immense protective bubble called the heliosphere that envelopes the solar system. Both are now traversing the Milky Way galaxy’s interstellar medium, a chillier region filling the vast expanses between the galaxy’s stars and planetary systems. Voyager 1 left the solar system at a different location in 2012. Several research papers published on Monday provided scientific details of that crossing.īoth Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were launched in 1977, designed for five-year missions. 5, 2018 at a point more than 11 billion miles (17.7 billion km) from the sun. space agency previously announced that Voyager 2, the second human-made object ever to depart the solar system following its twin Voyager 1, had zipped into interstellar space on Nov. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The journey of NASA’s dauntless Voyager 2 spacecraft through our solar system’s farthest reaches has given scientists new insight into a poorly understood distant frontier: the unexpectedly distinct boundary marking where the sun’s energetic influence ends and interstellar space begins.
