In April, NASA turned off one of the few remaining functional instruments. They have been slowly disabling them since 1998, because of limited power/use at various ranges. Think about that for a moment… It launched almost 50 years ago, in 1977. And we are STILL able to communicate with it. Expectedly until 2036. And this with our technology knowledge at the time. Unless it collides with something or is retrieved, it will reach the Oort Cloud in about 300 years. It will take about 30k years to pass through it. All of this blows my mind. https://science.nasa.gov/mission/voyager #Voyager #Space #NASA #Interstellar #Universe #Technology

The Angry Astronaut @angryastro.bsky.social Deep in intergalactic space, in the vicinity of the Large Magellanic Cloud, there's a star that's going impossibly fast. At over 3,000 km per second, it could travel from Earth to PLUTO in less than 20 days! And it's not the only one. #3IATLAS #Interstellar #Space

Fifty times faster than 3I Atlas?! All coming from the same place? What are they??
