Voyager probes

The Voyager probes, launched by NASA in 1977, are spacecraft designed to explore the outer planets and beyond. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have traveled far from Earth, capturing stunning images and data about Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They are now in interstellar space, offering insights into the heliosphere—the region influenced by our Sun—and the broader cosmos. Each probe carries a Golden Record, containing sounds and images of Earth, aimed at communicating with potential extraterrestrial life. Voyager's legacy is its remarkable journey, advancing our understanding of the solar system and humanity's place in the universe.
