According to calculations from IFLScience's resident astronomer, Dr Alfredo Carpineti, using data from NASA's Eyes on the ...
In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager probes to explore the outer reaches of the Solar System and the interstellar space beyond. Eventually, both spacecraft encountered a blazing “wall of fire” at the ...
On September 5, 1977, NASA launched the Voyager 1 probe into space with the aim of studying the outer planets. Voyager 1 launched a couple of weeks after Voyager 2, and both probes have flown to the ...
No human-made objects have traveled further into the final frontier than Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. However, both space probes are reaching the end of their service lives. NASA announced that engineers ...
Rare outreach from China's space agency marks a breakthrough in global space traffic management. China recently reached out to NASA over a maneuver to prevent a possible collision between satellites, ...
In a nail-biting mission to secure Voyager 1 before the only antenna that can send commands to the spacecraft goes offline for upgrades, NASA engineers revived thrusters aboard the probe that have ...
Whoops. NASA accidentally sent commands to Voyager 2 that cut off communications with the probe by pointing its antenna the wrong way. The satellite is programmed to reset its orientation multiple ...
Voyager 1, which has traveled further from Earth than any other human-made object, has resumed contact after a brief period of silence. Last month, on October 19, Voyager 1 stopped sending signals ...
Nearly 50 years after they were first launched, Voyager 1 and 2 are still traveling around interstellar space — though they've faced some setbacks over the years. Now, NASA has announced that the twin ...
