This is so amazing to me how this spacecraft is still trekking through the soloar system since 1977.

I remember a few years back seeing a picture it sent back to us, it was a picture of our entire solar system in a single picture. It showed the sun and all 9 planets as voyager saw it as it looked back at our solar system as it left it, a view no human will probably ever see live. It really is mind blowing to really think about where that thing is going to end up. I feel so insignificant LOL

That's awesome.
I was careful not to get trapped looking at nasa pics. I can get stuck for hours.
