Surprises from the Edge of the Solar System
09.21.2006

Sept. 21, 2006: Almost every day, the great antennas of NASA's Deep Space
Network turn to a blank patch of sky in the constellation Ophiuchus. Pointing at
nothing, or so it seems, they invariably pick up a signal, faint but full of
intelligence. The source is beyond Neptune, beyond Pluto, on the verge of the
stars themselves.

It's Voyager 1. The spacecraft left Earth in 1977 on a mission to visit
Jupiter and Saturn. Almost 30 years later, with the gas giants long ago seen and
done, Voyager 1 is still going and encountering some strange things.

Ooo, that was very cool! I didn't even know they were still in
contact with V1. I think I would speculate that those magnetic
potholes and speedbumps jumble and slow down the cosmic rays coming
in somewhat, if they "need" to be assigned a purpose. How
interesting it will be to see what else V1 uncovers for us tiny
humans back here. Thank you for sharing.
