Voyager 1

NASA has confirmed that Voyager 1 is now beyond the effects of the solar wind.  In that respect, it is now in interstellar space.

Gravitationally, however, Voyager 1 is still emphatically within the Solar System.  It will not reach the Sun's Oort Cloud, the realm of comets, for thousands of years.
