Voyager's Greatest Hits

The Epic Trek to Interstellar Space



In 1977, Voyagers 1 and 2 were launched to explore Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Forty years later, the twin spaceraft are still going, their new mission taking them into interstellar space, where no probe has gone before. Critically acclaimed science writer Alexandra Siy chronicles the ongoing saga of the Voyagers in a lively story full of nail-biting moments, inspiring scientists, and incredible NASA images.

It has been over forty years since the Voyager mission sent the twin space probes into space. They traveled to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune and now they journey beyond our solar system into interstellar space, where no probe has ventured before.

Learn the fascinating story of the scientists, how the Voyager probes work, where the probes have been and what they’ve seen, and what they carry on board—including the Golden Record, a recording of sounds and images about life on Earth.
