Voyager 2's Communication Lost: NASA's Mistake
TL;DR Summary
NASA has announced that its Voyager 2 probe is currently unable to communicate with Earth due to a misalignment of its antenna, which has been pointing away from Earth for over a week. The probe, currently 32 billion kilometers away, is expected to recalibrate its position in October. This glitch does not affect Voyager 1, which is still in contact with Earth. Engineers are working to resolve the issue and extend the probes' working lives.
