Voyager 1 and 2
Humans have always gone to the frontiers and explored making
the last true frontier outer space.
Humans have always been fascinated by space and have always to the stars
for directions or a familiar pattern. Recently humans have been sending things
to outer space and now the Voyager 1 and 2 have crossed the heliosphere. The heliosphere is the immense magnetic bubble
containing our solar system and it extends beyond Pluto and Voyagers 1 and 2
are now there first and only ships humans have created to leave the heliosphere
and enter interstellar space. Voyager 1
was launched September 5, 1977 but is traveling 38,000 mph and while Voyager 2 was
launched August 20, 1977 and has been traveling 35,000 mph. This means that
even though Voyager 2 was launched first Voyager 1 was able to pass Voyager 2
because Voyager 1 is traveling faster. Both are still operational and continue to
provide data about interstellar space.
