#1 "The boundary of the solar system is considered to be beyond the outer edge of the Oort Cloud, a collection of small objects that are still under the influence of the Sun's gravity."

I guess the Chinese offered up that definition.

#2 Sometime about 2025 the nuclear batteries will stop providing enough power for the Voyagers to function. But still it is impressive that they have lasted this long.

#6 ^ Dammit, all above, can't you see I'm trying to haz a SADs over here?

Twas Christmas, and all through the system...
A whisper, a hiss: "Pax vobiscum."
I put on My cap
For a long winter's nap,
Drifted off in the dark, and dismissed 'em.
