I read somewhere that Voyager 2 is not far behind and will be able to back up the data that Voyager 1 has discovered. Voyager 1 looks like it will run out of power in 2025 - some of its essential systems have already been shut down to conserve power.

Exciting stuff!

I for one marvel at the engineering skills of the creators.

Still running and still making exciting discoveries after all these years.

Kudos to the designers and engineers.

Also makes you realise just how big space is.

These two probes are have been travelling at about 60,000 km/hr for over 30 years

and are only 17 light-hours from Earth.

The Sun's nearest neighbour is over 4 light YEARs away.
