The article said that the probe's antenna is programmed to align towards Earth. Marvellous!😄

Wonder alien chio bu will sent her photo over through Voyager 1 ... 👩‍🚀

Voyager 1 and 2 are very impressive in what they have accomplished and how far they have travelled with the primitive tech available decades ago.

yah i am fascinated with Voyager 1 and have been watching youtubes about it

apparently it will take another 40,000 years for it to reach the star of Proxima Centauri

its power will run out but will continue to go forward by momentum and gravitational pull by other celestial bodies

mankind may already gone extinct by then... but Voyager 1 still goes on

This may mean that the space craft has been found by an ET civilization. If so, the ET civilization may visit Earth in the near future, using the information available on the golden record.

Worse case scenarios Aliens are coming to get us.
Their spacecraft have locked their bearings towards earth, meaning they have located us and are probably on their way here...
Already say impossible for voyager 1 to sent those data means those signals received are not sent by voyager 1. (Simple logic). Thanks to those kumgong who broadcast "we are here" to space.

If there's another Voyager...can include slides of a greenback, the international currency...then a stack of greenback in front of a Toyota Vios in the States, follow by a much bigger stacks of greenback in front of a Vios in Sillypore...😂

This forum owns by Toyota afterall...😁

  • NASA said Voyager 1 is sending data that doesn't match the spacecraft's movements.
  • The veteran spacecraft has been exploring our solar system and interstellar space since 1977.
  • It is now 14.5 billion miles away from Earth, making it the most distant human-made object.

NASA's Voyager 1 is continuing its journey beyond our solar system, 45 years after it was launched. But now the veteran spacecraft is sending back strange data, puzzling its engineers.

NASA said on Wednesday that while the probe is still operating properly, readouts from its attitude articulation and control system — AACS for short — don't seem to match the spacecraft's movements and orientation, suggesting the craft is confused about its location in space. The AACS is essential for Voyager to send NASA data about its surrounding interstellar environment as it keeps the craft's antenna pointing right at our planet.

"A mystery like this is sort of par for the course at this stage of the Voyager mission," Suzanne Dodd, a project manager for Voyager 1 and 2 at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said in a statement. "The spacecraft are both almost 45 years old, which is far beyond what the mission planners anticipated." NASA said Voyager 1's twin, the Voyager 2 probe, is behaving normally.

Launched in 1977 to explore the outer planets in our solar system, Voyager 1 has remained operational long past expectations and continues to send information about its journeys back to Earth. The trailblazing craft left our solar system and entered interstellar space in 2012. It is now 14.5 billion miles away from Earth, making it the most distant human-made object.

NASA said that from what its engineers can tell, Voyager 1's AACS is sending randomly generated data that does not "reflect what's actually happening onboard." But even if system data suggests otherwise, the spacecraft's antenna seems to be properly aligned — it is receiving and executing commands from NASA and sending data back to Earth. It said that so far the system issue hasn't triggered the aging spacecraft to go into "safe mode," during which it carries out only essential operations.

"Until the nature of the issue is better understood, the team cannot anticipate whether this might affect how long the spacecraft can collect and transmit science data," NASA said.

Dodd and her team hope to figure out what's prompting the robot emissary from Earth to send junky data. "There are some big challenges for the engineering team," Dodd said. A major one: It takes light 20 hours and 33 minutes to get to Voyager's current interstellar location, so a round-trip message between the space agency and Voyager takes two days.

"But I think if there's a way to solve this issue with the AACS, our team will find it," Dodd added.

45 years ago, and it is only about 20 light-hours away from us. When you think of systems that are light-years away, the distance is really mind-boggling.

im watching alot of videos on the new JWST. they say the telescope can see what happened just after big bang. looking back in space means looking back in time. This space time thing is really intriguing.

Voyager 1 took this photo in 1990 when it was going to leave the solar system

it's been coined the "pale blue dot"... the dot's referring to Earth 

can u spot where's Earth in the photo? 😁

You have read/watched The Three-Body Problem!

Steven Hawking said aliens will come and colonise/kill us.

If the alien has the technology advancement to travel light years to earth, doubt they will be interested in colonising earth, as there are trillions of earth like inhabited planets, some better than earth. 

The number of stars in the universe is way more than the number of grains of sands on earth.

I was thinking on the line of human beings being toxic because we bitch, we flirt, we slander, we back-stab, we gossip, and some of us think of murdering MILs etc. Our minds and thoughts are toxic.😅😁

True. They will probably just hunt and kill for sport. Like humans doing on safari. 

Now from where did I get the idea?
