Where are Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 Now?

What

What’s on the Golden Record



Voyager 1 and its twin Voyager 2 are the only spacecraft ever to operate outside
the heliosphere, the protective bubble of particles and magnetic fields
generated by the Sun. Voyager 1 reached the interstellar boundary in 2012, while
Voyager 2 (traveling slower and in a different direction than its twin) reached
it in 2018.
