Voyager 1 passes into interstellar space C017 / 0680
Voyager 1 passes into interstellar space, computer artwork. Voyager 1 was launched on 5th September 1977. This timing took advantage of a rare alignment of the giant outer planets Jupiter and Saturn, which made it possible for the spacecraft to visit them in a single mission. The probes successfully beamed images and scientific data back to Earth using their dish antennae (white). In August 2012 Voyager 1 left the solar system and became the first man-made object to enter interstellar space

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a monumental moment in space exploration history. In this computer artwork, we witness the remarkable journey of Voyager 1 as it passes into interstellar space. Launched on September 5th, 1977, Voyager 1 embarked on an extraordinary mission to explore the outer planets of our solar system. Taking advantage of a rare alignment between Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 1 became the first spacecraft to visit these giant celestial bodies in a single mission. Equipped with its dish antennae (depicted in white), the probe successfully transmitted breathtaking images and invaluable scientific data back to Earth. However, it was in August 2012 that Voyager 1 achieved an unprecedented feat. Breaking free from the confines of our solar system, it ventured into interstellar space – becoming mankind's first man-made object to do so. This groundbreaking achievement marks a significant milestone for humanity's understanding of the vastness beyond our home planet. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring illustration, we are reminded of both the incredible advancements made by NASA and JPL-Caltech and their unwavering dedication to unraveling the mysteries of our universe. From traversing through the heliosheath to venturing towards distant planets and ultimately reaching interstellar space, Voyager 1 has forever etched its name in history as a symbol of human curiosity and ingenuity.
