Will Voyager 1 LEAVE Our Milky Way Galaxy? #shorts

When will Voyager 1 leave our Milky Way Galaxy?

Voyager 1 was launched by NASA on September 5, 1977 and made flybys of Jupiter, Saturn.

It's currently traveling at a speed of 10.5 (16.9 km) per second away from our solar system.

But it will never be able to escape the Milky Way. Voyager 1 would need to get up to a speed of 341 miles (550 km) per second to leave.

The spacecraft will orbit the center of the Milky Way Galaxy until it collides with something or disintegrates. And if the spacecraft survives long enough, 500 million years from now, it will complete a full orbit through the Milky Way.

The music makes everything ten times sadder

“It is possible they will both continue their journey long after the human race has vanished”

that hit hard

Wow I'm so impressed with Voyager 1!! It has done so so much and went so much further that anyone thought!!👍😎

If you ever die Voyager 1, we all respect you 😭 💥🛰️💥

"It is possible it will continue its journey long after the human race has vanished"
That gave me chills

Gosh It's been there since I was 19 or 20. I am 64 now.

Can you imagine being that far away from earth? I have had nightmares of that..

How is that thing even transmiting data to earth??? My phone can't even get good signal in the basement!!

Imagine travelling and never to be able to come home 😢

I forgot about the gravitational pull of the milky way... I thought it would eventually leave the MW ...some million years from now

Imagine humans making a probe with a pic of rick astley on it and sending it to space (designed in a way that it wont get destroyed for billions of years)
And humans go extinct
Then aliens find our probe and think theres another intelligent space civilisation
They got rick rolled + they will keep looking for us but wont find

Voyager 1, this planet will always be indebted to you mate, thank you for your service!

If voyager one ever gets to that speed to escape the milky way, with my calculations it will take more than 361, 787, 016 years to leave the milky way, if voyager 2 also gets as fast as the escape velocity of the milky too then it will take more than 388, 451, 261 years to leave the milky way galaxy.

"It's possible they will both continue their journey " make me cry

Imagine in 500 million years we just see Voyager 1 slowly floating towards us

[titanicgaming]

I kinda like the idea of voyager 1 surviving, even if it outlives us all. It still carries a disk of us for the universe to see no matter what happens to us.

The vastness of the universe is amazing. And when you consider that it's just a tiny bubble inside or beside uncountable other universes or dimensions it's really amazing.
