NASA will use an array of six large antennas to receive science data from the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which has traveled farther than any other human spacecraft.

Voyager 1 reports from space beyond our solar system by Jake Pearson – For the first time, the density of interstellar space has been measured continuously for many years, which is very interesting, says John-Eric Wahland, professor of space physics at the Institute of Space Physics in Uppsala. In 1977, two spacecraft, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, orbited the giant giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in a long voyage out of the Solar System. Went through an obstacle The heliosphere, the protective bubble of the Solar System, was first abandoned by Voyager 1, ...

Voyager 1, which is the farthest human-made object from Earth and the first to enter interstellar space, has been detecting a “faint, persistent hum” that scientists have attributed to interstellar gas. Phys.org, citing research published in Nature Astronomy, reported that the spacecraft’s Plasma Wave System has picked up a “persistent signature produced by the tenuous near-vacuum of space.” James Cordes, a professor of astronomy at Cornell University, reportedly described the sound as a “quiet or gentle rain.” “In the case of a solar outburst,...

Now 8 years into its travels in the deep reaches of space between the stars, Voyager 1 has detected a faint, low-level hum. It stems from the vibration of the plasma, or ionized gas, in interstellar space.
