In a plot twist worthy of sci-fi fandom, NASA’s Voyager 1—the human-made object farthest from Earth—is back online and streaming data across the cosmos! After a seven-month glitch that silenced its instruments, engineers at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) successfully revived the 47-year-old spacecraft, now cruising 24.14 billion kilometers away in interstellar space.
The probe’s four instruments, designed to study magnetic fields and cosmic particles, rebooted this spring following a November 2023 computer glitch. Talk about a retro comeback! Launched in 1977 (the same year Star Wars hit theaters), Voyager 1 has racked up legendary feats: discovering Jupiter’s faint ring and scanning Saturn’s icy moons before becoming the first human-made object to exit our solar system.
Its twin, Voyager 2, trails at 19.31 billion kilometers away—proving even space siblings need their independence. Both probes carry Golden Records with Earth’s sounds and images, meaning aliens could someday groove to Chuck Berry.
Scientists are now eagerly analyzing fresh data about plasma waves and cosmic rays. As JPL tweeted: “Not bad for tech older than the internet!” Stay tuned—this cosmic DJ isn’t done spinning interstellar beats yet.
