As Voyager 2 crosses into the mysterious boundary of interstellar space, it has encountered something scientists are calling ...

NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft completed a historic flyby of Uranus, becoming the first,and so far, only probe to closely study ...

The discovery challenges findings made by Voyager 2, which collected data suggesting Uranus, unlike other giant planets in ...

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.

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.

Voyager 2 and its twin, Voyager 1, launched a few weeks apart in 1977 to perform an unprecedented "grand tour" of the solar system's giant planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Voyager 2’s nuclear power source should hold out until 2025 or so—likely long enough to sample interstellar space—but precisely when that data will come in is anyone’s guess.

Voyager 2 reached interstellar space in 2018 and has the distinction of being the only spacecraft to have explored Uranus and Neptune. The 'golden record' on board Voyager.

Voyager 2 — which was off kilter by 2% — had finally been reached when NASA’s Deep Space Network facility in Canberra, Australia, successfully sent a “shout” signal equivalent beyond 12. ...

Originally launched in 1977, Voyager 2 has been making its way through space for over 40 years now. Of course, all that time in space means that, eventually, the probe’s power supply will give out.

The Voyager 2 mission launched into space on August 20, 1977, followed by Voyager 1 on September 5, 1977. And since their departure from Earth, both spacecraft have accumulated various accolades.

NASA announced the arrival of Voyager 2 in interstellar space on Dec. 10, 2018. Voyager 1 reached the milestone in 2012. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech) ...
