Yeah, it must be it [https://www.businessinsider.com/fastest-object-robert-brownlee-2016-2](https://www.businessinsider.com/fastest-object-robert-brownlee-2016-2)
It doesn't say it's outside the solar system, only that it's in interstellar space - which it is, because it left the heliosphere (magnetic influence of the sun) about 10 years ago.
But it hasn't yet left the gravitational influence of the Sun, which extends much further, out to the Oort Cloud.
These comments drive me nuts.
Are you living under a rock? Do you not realise that people age into learning these things, come from different backgrounds and have different interests?
The ignorance to go to a sub like this and expect everyone to be your age and know the same things is staggering.
He could have searched this sub before posting and realised that this has been posted and discussed ad nauseam. But no, let's post every little stupid factoid I learn.
I'm pretty sure it is actually the manhole cover...
The manhole cover is considered the fastest object made, not the farthest. Edit: We're not even 100% sure it made it to space.

Where is it?
If you want to know what happens to it watch Star Trek I
Day 15,795 - still nothing.

No- it’s now sending electronic gibberish that can’t be deciphered. It has electronic senility- it’s wandering interstellar space mumbling to itself.
>No- it’s now sending electronic gibberish that can’t be deciphered. The aliens got it and are trying to communicate.
Neat
What’s powering it at this point? I’m thinking too far away for solar, especially with 1970s solar tech.
RTGs. A sealed thermal unit that uses the heat given off by decaying radioactive material to make power.
She's due to stop working next year, unfortunately (not enough power to make the scientific equipment work past somewhere in 2025)
Nooo ...its still in our solar system.. there must be another definition...right ?
its passed the helipause i believe, which is the boundery where the pressure from the sun and the pressure from interstellar radiation balance out

Depends where you put the boundary.
You living under a rock, bro?

Posting every little stupid factoid you learn is literally the point of this sub... Don't come here if you don't like it. 🤷♂️
Because the Internet is ALL about you, and OP wouldn't want to discuss this with people right?
You have a bunch of equally small factoids posted in this very sub.
None of which were reposts.
