Forty years ago, Voyager 2 flew past Uranus and observed radiation levels that defied explanation. Now, scientists may ...

NASA engineers have turned off one of Voyager 2's science instruments due to dwindling power supplies on the spacecraft as it explores interstellar space. Mission specialists have tried to delay the ...

Voyager 2’s flyby of Uranus in 1986 recorded radiation levels so extreme they baffled scientists for nearly 40 years. New research suggests the spacecraft caught Uranus during a rare solar wind event ...

When NASA’s twin Voyager probes left Earth in 1977, they carried computers weaker than a hand calculator and a modest goal of ...

In 1986, NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft made an unprecedented flyby of Uranus, uncovering a mystery that would puzzle scientists for decades. The spacecraft’s instruments recorded unexpectedly high ...

Nearly 50 years after they were first launched, Voyager 1 and 2 are still traveling around interstellar space — though they've faced some setbacks over the years. Now, NASA has announced that the twin ...

The plan will keep Voyager 2’s science instruments turned on a few years longer than previously anticipated, enabling yet more revelations from interstellar space. Launched in 1977, the Voyager 2 ...

NASA’s Voyager 2 probe, currently on a journey toward interstellar space, has detected an increase in cosmic rays that originate outside our solar system. Launched in 1977, Voyager 2 is a little less ...

National Aeronautics and Space Administration scientists are breathing a tentative sigh of relief after receiving a signal from NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft. The exploratory probe lost contact with its ...

A lone spacecraft's visit to Uranus may have left us with the complete wrong impression of the ice giant for nearly 40 years. The strange, sideways-rotating planet – the third largest in our solar ...
