Voyager 1, launched by NASA in 1977 to explore Jupiter and Saturn, became the first human-made object to enter interstellar space in 2012, now drifting over 24 billion kilometers from Earth and still transmitting data back to us after nearly 50 years of continuous operation, carrying the golden record—a time capsule of Earth's sounds and images—until its power runs out around 2030.

Where is Voyager 1 After Nearly 50 Years in Space? #ShortsAdded:
Do you know where humanity's most distant creation is right now? It's over 24 billion kilometers from Earth drifting through the dark.
In 1977, NASA launched Voyager 1 on a mission to explore Jupiter and Saturn.
Its original mission ended decades ago, but incredibly, it's still sending signals back. A message that takes 22 and 1/2 hours to cross space.
In 2012, Voyager 1 made history becoming the first man-made object to enter interstellar space, the vast emptiness between the stars.
On board it carries the golden record, a time capsule of Earth's sights and sounds in case it's ever found by someone else.
It will keep whispering until its power runs out around 2030. For nearly 50 years, it's been humanity's loneliest and most courageous traveler.
