Voyager Was Never Supposed to Go Interstellar...Scientists Didn’t Expect This

Описание: Voyager 1 was never supposed to go interstellar. It launched in 1977 to explore Jupiter and Saturn, but one mission decision changed its path forever. Decades later, that small spacecraft became the first human-made object to leave the Sun’s great protective bubble and enter the space between the stars.

This is the story of how it happened, what Voyager found at the edge of the solar system, and why that quiet crossing changed the way we see our place in the galaxy.
