Nearly four decades after Voyager 2 skimmed past Uranus, a fresh look at its measurements is reshaping what scientists ...

On July 9, 1979, NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft made its closest approach to Jupiter. It came within 354,000 miles (570,000 kilometers) of the planet's cloud tops. Voyager 2 was one of two space probes ...

A lone spacecraft's visit to Uranus may have left us with the complete wrong impression of the ice giant for nearly 40 years. The strange, sideways-rotating planet – the third largest in our solar ...

During its 1986 observation of the planet in the first and only flyby, the spacecraft measured a surprisingly strong electron ...

There are jets in Jupiter’s magnetosheath, according to Voyager 2 mission data from 1979. The 45-year-old information is now revealing the dynamics of the plasma stream. You may remember Voyager 2. It ...

Despite its 484-million-mile (778 million kilometers) distance, the Sun still has a measurable impact on Jupiter, generating jets of plasma around the planet. But it turns out they’ve been hiding from ...

NASA has received a signal from the Voyager 2 spacecraft that it accidentally lost contact with on July 21. Communications with the famous spacecraft, which launched in 1977 and is currently around 12 ...

NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft, which has been probing the outer bounds of the solar system for over 45 years, is running out of power. But a new plan aims to keep its interstellar mission alive for at ...

The plan will keep Voyager 2’s science instruments turned on a few years longer than previously anticipated, enabling yet more revelations from interstellar space. Launched in 1977, the Voyager 2 ...

NASA lost contact with its Voyager 2 spacecraft—the second-most distant object ever built by humans and flung into space—nearly two weeks ago due to an errant command sent to the probe. This caused ...

Voyager 1, NASA’s deep-space probe, could soon become the first spacecraft to reach a historic milestone. In November 2026, the probe will be one light-day from Earth.
