Voyager 1 Is Still Sending Data After Leaving Our Solar System 15 Years Ago #ShortsAdded:
Voyager 1 left our solar system in 2012 and is now 15 billion miles away from Earth. That's so far that radio signals take 22 hours to reach it. Yet, this 46-year-old spacecraft, built with 1970s technology less powerful than your calculator, is still transmitting scientific data back to us. It's currently traveling through interstellar space at 38,000 miles per hour, carrying a golden record with sounds of Earth for any aliens who might find it. By the time you watch this video, it's already 300 miles farther away.
