Voyager Spacecraft

Image 1:
The Voyager Spacecraft. The twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft continue exploring where nothing from Earth has flown before. In the 25th year after their 1977 launches, they are each much farther away from the Earth and Sun than Pluto. They are approaching the boundary region -- the heliopause -- where the Sun's dominance of the environment ends and interstellar space begins.
