After Pause, NASA’s Voyager 1 Communicating With Mission Team
« on: October 30, 2024, 10:01:44 AM »
I came across the blog below when I saw a tweet from Brian Cox. There's something delightful about contact still being made with Voyager 1 and 2 - more than 47 years after they were launched.

I remember a few years ago, reading that V1had finally left the solar system. Presumably, the sun looks like a bright star from where it is now.

Of course it still has to return in a massive cloud of energy (Yes, I know that's 'Voyager 6', but underlines the time, and scale of the achievement)
