    Yeah, me, too. I didn't think it was quite that long ago, though!

    Those look even better than the one I posted back in February. I do wonder how much they are "enhanced." Astrophotography always involves a significant amount of Photoshop work since many of the colors are outside of our visual range.

    🚨 NASA’s Voyager 1 — 48 Years in Space and Still Not a Full Light-Day Away

    Launched on September 5, 1977, NASA’s Voyager 1 has been traveling through space for 48 years. After traveling over 23 billion km, Voyager 1 is now the most distant human-made object, still sending faint radio signals from the edge of interstellar space — nearly half a century after launch.

    Would love to see the aliens faces when they find Vee-Ger.

    It's also moving the fastest of any known, human-made object... if memory serves.

    What I find truly amazing is nothing has hit either one of them and destroyed an antenna or splattered the entire platform.

    That's a good catch.
    I suppose it may just be a marker for how empty space is, on the average.
    The amount of kinetic energy involved in a collision with even a tiny particle would be fairly bodacious. (as any astrophysicist might put it B))
