NASA Loses Contact with Voyager 2 Probe 12.4 Billion Miles Away

NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft, currently over 12.3 billion miles away from Earth, has lost communication due to an unintentional shift in its antenna direction. The spacecraft is unable to receive commands or transmit data back to Earth. However, the next scheduled orientation adjustment on October 15 is expected to restore communication. Voyager 1, on the other hand, continues to operate without any issues. Both spacecraft were launched in 1977 and have provided valuable scientific data about the outer solar system.
