Voyager I is going to tell us where exactly that border is.
That little capsule is traveling since 1977, and it is still going :) Hats off to Voyager!

I used to watch Carl Sagan Cosmos documentaries when I was little. One of them was dedicated to Voyager journey. There was so much excitement and positive energy then. Carl Sagan was great science teacher, he was one of those rare people with a gift to convey his knowledge and his love for the science.
In the meantime, I think many people stopped believing that Voyager will make it out of solar system. Hearing that both capsules are still going and faithfully sending data back is bringing back some of the enthusiasm of that time.
