  • pourquoi les image sont elles floues?????

  • Saturn is my favorite planet in our solar system. look at it with its, mighty rings.

  • @herbal1971 bn? billion?

    

  • @echizenn808 It's reaching interstellar space. Voyager 1 is 17bn miles away. 2 is 14bn.

    

  • @Daavoid Of course, as long as its alive o.0

    Just that the farther it is,

    The longer Itll take to give back information/signal....

  • @echizenn808 will a signal ever be sent back? or have we lost connection?

  • Ahhh,

    Makes you wonder,

    where the heck is voyajer now :3

    Its way passed our solar system ,

    Takes a long time to send a signal back to earth :3

  • Keep in mind that the Voyager crafts will eventually arc back towards us. The once project leader even said that they have lost over 5,000 mph already and that Haley's Comet is a perfect example of how the crafts will simply never travel straight way and away from us. Like the comet, the Voyager crafts will very, very slowly work themselves into an orbit taking them far away and near. Just like Haley's comet and other space bodies not freed from visiting us on a huge orbit.

    Actually, Voyager 1 and 2 are currently leaving our solar system, transmitting only radio signals rather than video. I believe they're close to entering interstellar space.

  • @ktown4life1337

    It's calculated that the Voyagers will have enough power to stay "alive" until 2025. Due to the natural radioactive decay of the Plutonium fuel source, the electrical energy provided by the RTGs (the electrical power supply) is continually declining. And because we have control stations around the globe we can send and recieve messages to the spacecraft (mind you, the signal we recieve is very very faint).
