OVER AND OUT: The Voyager 2 spacecraft has crossed into interstellar space, six years after its twin probe, Voyager 1. The two spacecraft are providing an unprecedented look at the edge
of the suns influence (lighter blue bubble in this illustration).

Absolutely amazing; and all in my lifetime. Voyager gave us our first good look at the distant planets and now the Universe beyond the Heliosphere. I wonder if those who designed and built her dared dream it would last this long?

Great stuff. Thanks for the post.

I hope it doesn’t run into any exploring craft from an advanced civilization.
The result could be one of the worst movies ever.

I don’t get why there would be a sudden increase in the number of cosmic rays. They’re moving near the speed of light, the very weak solar winds ain’t going to do squat to them.

Thanks for the Voyager posts. My Dad was the program manager for the power plants on these two spacecraft. His team built the Radioisotope Thermal Generators that are still powering Voyager 1 & 2. The story of the development of the RTGs is amazing by itself.

"Voyager 2 is currently about 3.6° Celsius"
Don't they mean 3.6° Kelvin?
