Voyager 1 reached the heliopause in 2012, followed by Voyager 2 six years later, confirming the heliosphere isn’t actually a perfect sphere.

    As to the sensing mechanism specifically I am not sure other than that it has to do with detecting a differential in energy, but the sensor in question is the Low Energy Charged Particle Instrument.
