All of you might have heard by now that Voyager 1 has left the heliosphere or our solar system into the interstellar space (http://io9.com/a-map-of-our-solar-system-that-puts-it-into-proper-pers-1306914132). You can check the current location of voyager 1 here:
http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/where/
According to data it is about 17 light hours away. I think this was a perfect analogy of a teenager moving out of parent's house into the college.
In voyager 1's case it is going to be a 30000 year long college in dorm with the Oort Cloud.
It's been hearing interesting interstellar noise (http://io9.com/the-sound-of-interstellar-space-is-actually-kind-of-ter-1302701737)
