This was in the news last year, but the loss of an instrument in 1980 kept them from being sure. Now they have been able to confirm it using other on board instruments. The probe is now 17 light hours from Earth. That's about three times the distance to Pluto.They build that thing to last huh. Still first man made object to pass the OOrt cloud. There is hope yet.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
