Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Data from the Voyager spacecraft confirm they are actively recording plasma, magnetic fields, and dust impacts outside the Solar System. Both recent studies provide empirical evidence supporting ongoing scientific measurements in interstellar space.

The analysis

The claim is specific and falsifiable, and the provided papers clearly support it with empirical observations from Voyager 1 and 2 operating in the interstellar medium. Both papers describe ongoing or recent scientific measurements (magnetic plasma and dust impacts) conducted outside the Solar System, directly backing the claim.
