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
NASA Space Science Update (SSU) on November 5, 2003, at
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.
