What Voyager 1 And 2 Detected Beyond Our Solar System?

NASA launched the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft from Earth in 1977. Their mission was to explore Jupiter, Saturn, and the farthest planets in the solar system.
This was a remarkable feat because no object made in the past by human beings had tried a journey as risky and distant as this.
Both ships were initially scheduled to operate for 4 or 5 years, but surprisingly, exceeding all expectations; the ships are still operating after 44 years.
Thanks to this, the probes have discovered incredible findings at the edges of the solar system.
The Voyager 1 and 2 probes are the objects created by the human race that has gone the furthest. Currently, Voyager 1 is 22,000 million km from Earth, while Voyager 2 is 18,000 million km from Earth.

Hey Insane Curiosity Squad! If you liked the video, we would love for you to share it with your friends or on other social networks like Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter, etc... (Since the algorithm is not cooperating in showing us to the public 😅). In just 30 seconds, you will greatly help our Channel to grow and improve future contents. A big thank you from all of us.

It's almost comforting to know that the Voyagers will continue long after humankind is gone...assuming nothing happens to them. I doubt another form of life will find them, but just the fact that a couple of smart monkeys threw these machines into space puts a smile on my face. The team that made the Voyagers, and the people who've guided them all this time deserve all the respect in the world.

Voyager 1 & 2 have found some of the greatest discoveries throughout their long endevours. 😀

[utkuerkan]

Great video, please upload similar content frequently into the future. Voyager probes would shut down, but their legacy/works would be remembered & it'd be mission successful for NASA/humanity. ;-))

While the probes have left the heliosphere, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have not yet left the solar system, and won’t be leaving anytime soon. The boundary of the solar system is considered to be beyond the outer edge of the Oort Cloud, a collection of small objects that are still under the influence of the Sun’s gravity. The width of the Oort Cloud is not known precisely, but it is estimated to begin at about 1, 000 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun and to extend to about 100, 000 AU. One AU is the distance from the Sun to Earth. It will take about 300 years for Voyager 2 to reach the inner edge of the Oort Cloud and possibly 30, 000 years to fly beyond it.

Wait they planned on making that things battery last for 4-5 years, but it lasted 44 years, yet the best phone battery can last a day maybe a few days.

Amazing the distance between them now despite being launched only 2 weeks apart

[brentthompson]

If my consciousness is able to put transferred to a computer I would like my conscious be put on something like the voyagers so that I could travel the universe and see what else is out there and just enjoy the beauty the universe has to offer 😊

[centurion]

Great that they got the once in 173 year lineup right after Space Travel

What would happen if in the far future, an alien life form, after finding this primitive device would recharge the battries and send it back on it’s way? Would we be able to receive the data or our system would be shut down after 2025?

[carloscontreras]

Are there any other voyager missions planned?

[junpinedajr.]

The irony is that 98% of Humans would not be able to decode those messages, hence even if Aliens finds V1, V2, there is little hope they can decode them.

Who is the old man at 01:17? Cannot unsee😲

[NPTUNSOUL]

300-400 years +PLUS to make it out of our solar system 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[askarielad]

We should command the Voyagers to take a photo of the sun from where they’re at now, before they completely die.

[centurion]

Not just the delay, apparently there's only 69kb RAM which will take time...

[Mike-ivhy]

The Voyagers are NOT in the interstellar medium.
They are many millions
Of miles inside the Solar System and inside the Oort cloud .
The Oort Cloud is the
Outer part of the Soler System, when they leave the Oort Cloud they will truly out of the Solar System .
But that could take a thousand yr or more
DML

[davidfigueroa]

If they will be shut down permanently, how then will the records operate?

[Mike-ivhy]

I think we will pass Voyager 1 and 2 in less than 1000 yr
Imagine it like this.
A model T Ford goes out at 30 mph .
A new Ford goes out at
120mph, the brand new
Ford will eventually pass the model T Ford ,
Eventually .
DML
