The Voyager missions, I would categorise, as the creme de la creme of NASA. That they got so much done with so less, speaks for itself.

Fascinating stuff, from beginning to now.

I guess you need the Germans to run the place, to get that level of achievement, LOL!

Maybe it’s still under warranty?

Many years ago. Even the Mars rovers were outsourced because NASA knew they couldn't pull it off.

Truly amazing - I only hope we can get our educational system re-structured so that all children will be able to access the best of math and science curriculum’s before the great teachers, without a political agenda, disappear.

"The planet Jupiter has a system of rings, known as the rings of Jupiter or the Jovian ring system. It was the third ring system to be discovered in the Solar System, after those of Saturn and Uranus. It was first observed in 1979 by the Voyager 1 space probe[1] and thoroughly investigated in the 1990s by the Galileo orbiter.[2] It has also been observed by the Hubble Space Telescope and from Earth for the past 25 years.[3] Ground-based observations of the rings require the largest available telescopes.[4]

The Jovian ring system is faint and consists mainly of dust.[1][5]"
