Uranus Found Emitting Internal Heat, Reviving Hopes for Flagship NASA Mission
Astronomers have discovered that Uranus emits 12% more heat than it receives from sunlight, contradicting past data from Voyager 2. The internal warmth likely comes from leftover energy in the planet’s core, offering clues to its tilt and interior structure. This unexpected heat has intensified calls for a flagship NASA mission to Uranus. Scienti...

NASA Voyager 2 Shuts Down Plasma Science Instrument to Conserve Power
NASA engineers have powered down the plasma science instrument on Voyager 2 to conserve energy. Launched in 1977, the spacecraft is now 12.8 billion miles from Earth. With power decreasing yearly, NASA aims to keep at least one instrument functional into the 2030s. The plasma science instrument, which helped confirm Voyager 2's crossing into inters...

How 'Voyager 2', 12 Billion Miles Away, Re-established Contact With Earth
NASA has succeeded in re-establishing full contact with Voyager 2 by using its highest-power transmitter to send an "interstellar shout" that righted the distant probe's antenna orientation, the space agency said Friday.

NASA's Voyager 2 Sends "Heartbeat" Signal To Earth After Blackout
NASA's distant Voyager 2 probe has signaled it is in "good health" after mission control mistakenly cut contact for several days, the US space agency said in its latest update.

NASA Probe Gives Insight On Solar System's Border With Interstellar Space
The journey of NASA's dauntless Voyager 2 spacecraft through our solar system's farthest reaches has given scientists new insight into a poorly understood distant frontier: the unexpectedly distinct boundary marking where the sun's energetic influence ends and interstellar space begins.

42 Years On, Voyager 2 Charts Interstellar Space
A probe launched by NASA four days after Elvis died has delivered a treasure trove of data from beyond the "solar bubble" that envelops Earth and our neighbouring planets, scientists reported Monday.

After 41 Years, NASA Spacecraft Escapes Sun's Bubble, Enters Interstellar
Ever since it left Earth 41 years ago, the Voyager 2 spacecraft has sailed across the solar system on a stream of energetic particles from the sun.

NASA's Voyager 2 Probe Travels Beyond Heliosphere in Longest Running Mission
Voyager 2 was launched in 1977, just before Voyager 1, and both have travelled well beyond their original destinations: Jupiter and Saturn, stretching their four-year lifespan into 41 years.
