The Voyager probes were the first spacecraft to go interstellar and after almost 50 years in space, they are pretty amazing.

The Voyager 2, first launched in 1977, ... Europa, which it turns out has a liquid water ocean beneath its icy crust." Voyager 2 is 12.3 billion miles away from Earth and counting.

Among its most spectacular findings were pictures from the icy moon Europa. Voyager 2 snapped detailed photos of the icy moon's cracks from 128,000 miles (205,996 km) away and revealed no change ...

Shortly after midnight on Friday morning, at 12:29 am ET, Voyager 2 started streaming back science and telemetry data. Accordingly, the venerable probe is healthy, on course, and communicating ...

In its first spacecraft portraits, Jupiter’s moon Europa (seen here in a 1979 photo from Voyager 2, reprocessed in 2010) looked like a cracked egg. Now, a new spacecraft is going to get a better ...

Europa is an icy ocean world—and NASA is finally going to explore it. ... Voyager 2 took high-resolution images of Europa’s exterior, showing it was chock full of long, ...

A mosaic of Europa from Voyager 2’s approach in 1979. One instance of a crop circle is visible here. Find the diamond-shaped mark just below the middle of the moon’s visible surface.

Originally planned as a five-year mission to Saturn and Jupiter, NASA's Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 space probes have continued deep into the solar system, thanks to their simple, smart engineering.

Voyager 2 closely studied Jupiter in July 1979. It discovered Jupiter has a thin ring system. Voyager 2 found evidence of a subsurface ocean on Jupiter's moon Europa.

And now, new research based on images taken by the Voyager 2 spacecraft has suggested that Miranda, a small Uranian icy moon, may have once possessed a deep liquid water ocean beneath its surface.

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 spacecraft’s energy budget keeps dropping by about 4 Watt/year, as the plutonium in its nuclear power source is steadily dropping as the isotope decays. With 4 Watt of power les… ...
