"Voyager 1's Mysterious Data Transmission from Interstellar Space"
TL;DR Summary
Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object, has been sending a repeating pattern of 1s and 0s to NASA from interstellar space, likely due to an issue with its Flight Data System. This has halted the transmission of science data and updates about the probe's health and status. NASA is working to resolve the problem, but it may take months, and the spacecraft's plutonium-powered system is running out. Eventually, Voyager 1 will cease sending data, but it will continue its journey through the space between stars.
