"NASA Scientist's Chilling Reaction to First Voyager Images"
NASA's Voyager spacecraft, launched in 1977, have entered interstellar space, providing unprecedented images and data about our solar system. Alan Cummings, a scientist on the Voyager mission, recalls the awe-inspiring moment when he first saw images of Jupiter's moon Io, teeming with vibrant volcanoes. Despite encountering technical glitches, the spacecraft have persevered, but their power is finite, and communication may cease in the mid-2030s. The Voyager craft have forever altered our understanding of the cosmos and carry a time capsule intended to communicate a story of Earth to extraterrestrials, ensuring their journey will continue for billions of years.
