   The venerable twin Voyager spacecraft have played a pivotal role in unlocking solar system secrets. Built at JPL and launched in 1977, between them they flew by and imaged Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Their discoveries added numerous chapters to astronomy books. Iconic Voyager images include a “family portrait” of planets, and a ...

3. Explore the Solar System With NASA’s New-and-Improved 3D ‘Eyes’

   This crease (at the 3/4 mark) is Neptune. Fold the right side of the paper to the half-way mark to identify the location of Neptune at the 3/4 mark. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech. Starting with the Sun again, fold the strip of paper to the Saturn mark. This new crease is at the 1/8 mark and is where we would find Jupiter.

6. NASA’s Voyager Team Focuses on Software Patch, Thrusters

   In 1990, NASA extended the mission again, this time with the goal of sending the probes outside the heliosphere, a protective bubble of particles and magnetic fields created by the Sun. Voyager 1 reached the boundary in 2012, while Voyager 2 (traveling slower and in a different direction than its twin) reached it in 2018.
