NASA has explored the space beyond Earth and our solar system with spacecraft like Voyagers 1 and 2, and how we’ve discovered ...

Launched in 1977, 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 ...

Voyager 1 has been used to study Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, according to NASA. In 2018, more than 40 years after its launch, Voyager 2 entered interstellar space in 2018.

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.

NASA Reaches Voyager 2 With a Last-Ditch ‘Shout’ Across the Void After an erroneous command sent the spacecraft’s antenna askew, mission specialists hatched a plan to point it back toward Earth.

Voyager 2 then zoomed past Uranus in 1986 and Neptune in 1989; the probe remains the only craft to have gotten up-close looks at either of these "ice giants." And both Voyagers just kept on flying ...

After Voyager 2's Neptune encounter, which occurred in August 1989, the two spacecraft entered a new phase known as the Voyager Interstellar Mission. They would journey on into the distant unknown ...

Voyager 2 was launched in August 1977, 16 days before Voyager 1, which explored Jupiter, Saturn and Saturn's large moon Titan before heading out into the depths of the solar system.

Voyager 2's twin craft, Voyager 1, is still broadcasting and transmitting data from 15 billion miles away. The pioneering probes launched in 1977 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on a mission to ...

Voyager 2 is 12.4 billion miles from Earth. The spacecraft is one of two twin probes launched in 1977 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, to explore planets in the outer solar system − particularly ...

(Voyager 2’s twin, Voyager 1, is able to communicate with the other two stations.) A round-trip communication with Voyager 2 takes about 35 hours — 17 hours and 35 minutes each way.

The milestone makes the 41-year-old NASA probe just the second human-made object, after Voyager 1, to reach such distant regions. Now, Voyager 2 is over 11 billion miles from the sun — and counting.
