Complete space newbie here --Wouldn't meteorites, dust or debris going 1000's of mph smash into voyager and disable or destroy it?

@dmajor050 Oh then the source where i've got it from must be bonkers :/ Well check out aggmanUK's review about it. But i said -218 so it could be me who's mistaking.

@GlennFalconiVEVO

no way it could be negative Kelvin. 0 Kelvin is absolute zero, -273 degrees Celsius.

[GlennFalconiVEVO]

@WWAAK Oh it really is ''cooler''. No pun intended and then again with. The temprature can dip down to -55 kelvin. That's about -218 celcius. And i agree it looks awsome. Funny that the dark spot dissapeard and then a new one's on the top.

Is there no question this is a diverse property. Many circumstance, the right ones, led to this.

In our solar system we have planets that are too far and unstable to support life. But this can't be said about other solar system where you could image a reverse. It depends on the sun size, how the solar system was formed, the chemicals used, gravity, volume, dimension. All of this plays it part in the grand scheme of it. That's my two cents.
