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

Voyager 2 is taking the measure of its exotic surroundings once again. On Jan. 25, the venerable probe, which has been exploring interstellar space since November 2018, failed to execute a spin ...

Voyager 1 and 2 have traveled farther than any human-made object—well beyond the planets and into interstellar space. But recently, the probes transmitted data that stunned scientists: signals and ...

NASA just hailed its Voyager 2 probe in interstellar space for the first time in more than seven months. Voyager 2's handlers beamed a set of test commands to the spacecraft on Thursday (Oct. 29 ...

Voyager 2 also measured what scientists describe as a magnetic barrier, ... The development of NASA’s long-delayed giant rocket, the Space Launch System, makes that mission more plausible.

Today, Voyager 1 is 159 astronomical units from home, and Voyager 2 is at 133 AU, traveling in a different direction. (1 AU is the distance between the Earth and sun, or about 93 million miles.) ...

Five years later, Voyager 2 flew past Uranus. Finally, in 1989, Voyager 2 reached Neptune, finding its winds among the fastest and strongest even though it’s the farthest from the heat of the sun.

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 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.

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.

Voyager 2 is only the second spacecraft to travel this far out into the solar system. At a distance of about 11 billion miles from Earth, Voyager 2 is well beyond the orbit of Pluto.
