Going Beyond the Edge of Our Solar System

The Voyager mission, launched in 1977, aimed to study Jupiter and Saturn but was extended to explore Neptune, Uranus, and interstellar space. The probes, Voyager 1 and 2, have traveled billions of kilometers, providing unprecedented data. They discovered magnetic bubbles in the heliosheath and crossed into interstellar space, challenging existing models. Despite nearing the end of their power supply, the probes' legacy continues, carrying the Golden Record as a testament to human ingenuity.
