Last I heard, it was believed to have passed the barrier (heliopause?), or atleast at the very end of it based on solar wind and radiation readings. But, it just needs to hurry up already and be over with it lol. Its only been flying for the last 35 years.
^ It really just takes time to see where other stars are moving in relation to us just by taking pictures every few months. Also some gross math and computer simulations of their trajectories, past and future. I dont think the Earth itself moves very fast compared to other cosmic speeds. Not only that but our orbits' circumference isnt really big to obscure our own reference point to others. Im assuming that seeing the way other stars close by move and gravity, we can find our own stars path through the galaxy as it rotates.
