But when Voyager 2 got an up-close look at Uranus in 1986, scientists were able to glean some insights that, while ...

The car-size Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes exploited a rare alignment of the planets (and their gravitational fields) to zoom past and study worlds like Uranus and Neptune for the first time.

Voyager 2 spent over four decades journeying through the outer solar system. In 2018, it became only the second human-made object to enter interstellar space. This video explores the milestones of its ...

Launched in 1977, the Voyager 1 and 2 space probes have been operating non-stop for over 45 years, making their way from Earth to our solar system’s outer planets and beyond. Courtesy of the ...

Saying farewell is hard, and in the case of the Voyager 1 & 2 spacecraft doubly so, seeing as how they have been with us for more than 47 years. From the highs of the 1970s and 1980s during their ...

Launched in 1977 to study the large outer planets, Voyager 1 and 2 are now, respectively, more than 13 billion and 11 billion miles from Earth, exploring the outer boundary of the heliosphere—a ...

Voyager 2 preceded it into space by 16 days, but Voyager 1 quickly overtook it on a faster trajectory, and arrived at Jupiter 4 months before its sister craft. Voyager 1 took this photo of Jupiter ...

The latest data comes courtesy of the Plasma Wave Science instrument aboard Voyager 2, now 11 billion miles away. The measurements illustrate that even “beyond the heliopause the sun can still ...

and should do the same for Voyager 2 when it crosses over sometime in the next few years. The PLS looks for the lowest-energy particles in plasma, and can also look for particles moving at ...
