I n 300 years, NASA's Voyager spacecraft will reach a hypothetical region of space, long thought to exist but for which we do ...

Voyager 1 and 2 then went on to explore the outer boundary of the heliosphere. In 2012, Voyager 1 crossed that boundary into interstellar space, and one year ago, Voyager 2 did the same, as NASA ...

Voyager 2 is currently in the constellation of Pavo, more than 12.3 billion miles away from Earth, while Voyager 1 is in the constellation of Ophiucus 1 almost 15 billion miles from Earth.

Voyager 1 crossed the heliopause, or the edge of the heliosphere, in 2012. Voyager 2 was still in the heliosheath, or the outermost part of the heliosphere. (NASA/JPL-Caltech) ...

Voyager 2 was launched by NASA on 20 August, 1977. The main objectives of Voyager 2 were to explore Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, as well as their associated moons and rings.

Launched in 1977, NASA's Voyager probes have detected a high-temperature "firewall" beyond the solar system's edge, challenging previous assumptions. The probes revealed connected magnetic fields ...

This radioisotopic power system loses around 4 watts of power from Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 each year. In the 1980s, several instruments aboard both spacecraft were turned off.

NASA has turned off one of Voyager 2's science instruments as power conservation becomes crucial for the interstellar exploring spacecraft located 12.8 billion miles from home.

They won’t leave the Oort Cloud – a huge set of small icy objects that surround our Sun – for another 30,000 years. Voyager 1 and 2 will still, it seems, be with us for a long while yet.
