    40 years ago, Voyager 2 flew by Saturn. Up-close views by my twin and I illuminated the planet and its rings as never before! Both of us laid the groundwork for the Cassini mission which continued our legacy of unraveling Saturn's mysteries.

    44 years ago, my twin Voyager 2 launched from Earth to tour the solar system. It’s incredible that we hold the record for longest lasting mission! You could say we have a thing for gold records. Catch up on four decades of space travel here:

    in 1979, my twin, Voyager 2 made its closest approach to Jupiter. Highlights include: first images of its ring system, observations of Europa that suggest cracks in ice over a liquid ocean and active volcanoes on Io that erupt at least several months.

    I captured these haunting interstellar plasma sounds in 2013. Recent data show the density around me has increased and I’ve measured a long-lasting series of these plasma waves, providing more insight into the structure of interstellar space.

    It’s not every day you get photographed when you’re in space. New Horizons is 50x as far from the Sun as Earth & photographed me from its place in the Kuiper Belt. I’m too faint to be seen directly, but my precise location is known.

    I took this shot of Earth as I looked back at home for the last time, Feb. 14, 1990. I'm in interstellar space now, but still to you. This , I hope you consider this view and the fact that you’re all on this one tiny pixel.

    The rover has landed. That's one small step for the mission. One giant leap for the search for life beyond Earth.

    Hello, world. My first look at my forever home.

    An astronaut’s view of Earth started season three of our “On a Mission” podcast, and in the season finale, we see The Pale Blue Dot from the perspective of – the first human-made object to reach interstellar space.

    My gift is tenacity. My twin and I are the most distant human-made objects from Earth and the first to communicate from interstellar space. We’re still going strong, more than 43 years in space! What’s YOUR unique talent?

    Yellow haze, all in my mind… I flew by Saturn’s moon Titan 40 years ago, imaging the thick atmosphere that obscures its icy surface, lakes and seas.

    Flying in the eerily silent & vast darkness of space, 2 has been cruising with no communication from Earth since March because of upgrades to ground antennas. Today, commands sent from Earth – 11+ billion miles away – were received:

    I’m nearing the 40th anniversary of my close encounter with Saturn’s huge moon, Titan. I sent back pictures of its thick, opaque atmosphere and indications liquid might be present on the surface. (It is.) Science out today reveals more about the surface:

    I’m “it” out here in interstellar space. I flew by many things on my voyage of discovery, but never made contact. Sending good vibes to , set to sample asteroid Bennu today. I tag , who has a live visualization of the whole maneuver:

    Thanks, ! We’re excited to get a piece of Bennu home! We’d love samples of things beyond the solar system, but all we get are atomic nuclei & other particles. In fact, only two functioning spacecraft have ventured outside our solar system. You’re it !

    Voyager 2 and I hit some milestones : 🪐 - My twin had a close flyby of Saturn in 1981 🔵 - In 1989, Voyager 2 encountered Neptune ✨ - I entered interstellar space in 2012, becoming the first human-made object to explore this part of the universe.

    Congratulations to my twin, Voyager 2! 🥳 Today we celebrate your 43 years of exploration. May you continue to go where nothing from Earth has gone before, heading into the deep, dark unknown and shedding light on it for Earth.

    Wowza! My twin got up close and personal with Jupiter in 1979. Several days before, Voyager 2 snapped this beauty of the Great Red Spot. ✨

    Still sciencing after all these years… In revisiting data from my twin’s 1986 Uranus flyby, researchers discovered one more secret: the planet seems to be losing some of its atmosphere into space, and its weird magnetic field might be why.
