Twenty-eight years on and the Voyager spacecraft are still making
discoveries as they hurtle out of our Solar System.
The probes are now more than 11.5 billion km from Earth and should leave
the vast region of space under our Sun's influence in the next 10 years
"When the power is lost, they'll still keep travelling outwards, of
course," said Edward Stone, from the California Institute of Technology, US.
"But it will be a long time before the Voyagers are closer to another
star than to our own Sun - something like 40,000 years."
Sure makes me feel small.
