  ABSTRACT: The Voyager spacecrafts have been measuring since 2012 the rates of electron and nuclei of the cosmic radiation beyond the solar cavity at a distance of more than 1013 meters from the Earth. A record of unique and notable findings has been reported and among them, the electron-to-proton flux ratio of 50 to 100 below energies of 50 MeV. This ratio is thoroughly opposite to that of 0.01 measured at higher energies in the range 10 GeV to 10 TeV. The difference amounts to four orders of magnitude. Arguments and calculations to show how this surprising and fundamental ratio lends support to the empirical evidence of the ubiquitous electrostatic field in the Milky Way Galaxy are presented. In other respects, this paper examines and calculates, for the first time, the electric charge balance in the solar system delimited by the termination shock of the solar wind.
