Groups Why Join? Astronomy Day. The Complete Star Atlas. Thousands of years from now, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 will leave our solar system. But their instruments will stop working long before that happens. The scheme was a stunning success. At Jupiter, the probes surprised scientists when they spotted volcanoes on the moon Io and discovered Europa is likely an ocean world.
Saturn surrendered its atmospheric composition and new rings. To this day, scientists are still making new discoveries by exploring Voyager's decades-old data. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are still functioning today, making them the longest-running and most-distant space mission in history.
Though they are each taking different paths, both spacecraft are still screaming their way out of the solar system. And they still have a long way to go. Where are the Voyager Probes Going? New probes may one day study the interstellar medium lying beyond. What is the Voyager Mission Studying? When Will Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 Die? The Voyager golden record left is a inch gold-plated copper disc. And this lonesome, one-way ticket out of the solar system was more than some astronomers could resist.
Carl Sagan was so drawn to the idea that he helped NASA create an entire cultural component for the mission, lest some future aliens — or spacefaring earthlings — found one of the Voyager probes. The spacecraft-killing anomaly over the South Atlantic. Data from this instrument suggested that Voyager 2 entered interstellar space on November 5, , when the inside particles green dipped closer to 0.
Take a deeper look at the sophisticated systems and instruments that deliver the stunning science and images from the solar system. The Voyager spacecraft have been exploring the solar system and beyond for decades. Dive deep into the journey with this interactive timeline. NEWS May 11, In the sparse collection of atoms that fills interstellar space, Voyager 1 has measured a long-lasting series of waves where it previously only detected sporadic bursts. NEWS November 2, The only radio antenna that can command the year-old spacecraft has been offline since March as it gets new hardware, but work is on track to wrap up in February.
For the past 30 years, NASA's Voyager twins have phoned home everyday, sending snapshots and stories that shaped our view of the solar system. Jennifer Garner shares a photo of herself from 20 years ago, looking almost exactly the same. Here's what health officials think is happening. President Biden referred to the late baseball player Satchel Paige as "the great negro" before correcting himself during his Veterans Day address at Arlington National Cemetery on Thursday.

The instrument detected a dip in the levels of charged particles that originate from inside our heliosphere green , and rise in the levels of cosmic rays — charged particles that originate from stars other than our sun orange.
These data had suggested that Voyager 1 entered interstellar space on August 25, , when the inside particles green dipped closer to 0. To learn more about Voyager, zoom in and give the spacecraft a spin. View the full interactive experience at Eyes on the Solar System.
