Voyager 2's visit to Uranus may have left us with the complete wrong impression of the ice giant for nearly 40 years, ...

Much of what we understand about Uranus comes from data gathered by NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft. Thirty-eight years ago, this ...

When NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Uranus in 1986, it provided scientists' first—and, so far, only—close glimpse of ...

Nasa has picked up a "heartbeat" signal from its Voyager 2 probe after it lost contact with it billions of miles away from Earth, the space agency said. Last month, the spacecraft - exploring the ...

Voyager 2 is over 12 billion miles from Earth, making its way through interstellar space. Along its almost 50-year journey, the probe has seen more of the universe than we ever will. Now ...

The space agency had expected a regular reset of the probe in October to fix the error Nasa is back in full contact with its lost Voyager 2 probe months earlier than ...

Voyager 2 preceded it into space by 16 days, but Voyager 1 quickly overtook it on a faster trajectory, and arrived at Jupiter 4 months before its sister craft. Voyager 1 took this photo of Jupiter ...

The Voyager 2 spacecraft’s energy budget keeps dropping by about 4 Watt/year, as the plutonium in its nuclear power source is steadily dropping as the isotope decays. With 4 Watt of power less ...

As of this writing, the DTR in Voyager 2 is still working, but is likely to be shut down as the power wanes in that vehicle. Soon we’ll lose contact with both of these platforms for good ...

and should do the same for Voyager 2 when it crosses over sometime in the next few years. The PLS looks for the lowest-energy particles in plasma, and can also look for particles moving at ...

One thing is for sure, though: Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are both slowly dying, instrument by instrument, and each new issue that crops up has every potential to be their last. Josh Hawkins has been ...
