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...

Voyager 2's Historic Flyby of Uranus Exposes Rare Magnetic Distortion
A new analysis of Voyager 2’s flyby of Uranus in 1986 reveals a unique magnetic anomaly caused by a rare solar wind event. Scientists from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech found that the solar wind’s impact on Uranus’s magnetosphere was a unique occurrence, influencing measurements of the planet’s magnetic field. The study also ...

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 Voyager 1's Probe Is the Closest Humanity Can Get to Immortality, Claims Expert
James Edward Huchingson, Professor emeritus and lecturer of Religion and Science at Florida International University, has published a piece to throw light on what the Voyager Probes could teach about humanity and legacy. The Golden Records have messages packed in a bottle, which include spoken greetings in 55 languages, sounds, and images from natu...

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.

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.

NASA's 41-Year-Old Voyager 2 Probe May Be Nearing Interstellar Space
NASA's Voyager 2 probe that was launched in 1977 has detected an increase in cosmic rays that originate outside our solar system, indicating that it is near the interstellar space.

After 41 Years, NASA's Voyager 2 May Be Near Interstellar Space
NASA's Voyager 2 probe that was launched in 1977 has detected an increase in cosmic rays that originate outside our solar system, indicating that it is near the interstellar space.
