    Study Notes

    Voyager 1 Probe

    • Voyager 1 became the farthest object from Earth forged by human hands at the end of the 20th century.
    • Nearly 15 years later, it achieved another milestone, becoming the first to touch Interstellar space.

    Voyager Probes

    • The twin Voyager probes departed in 1977 to explore the gas giant planets, specifically Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
    • The probes were designed to investigate how gas giant planets actually form.

    Discoveries

    • The Voyager probes made surprising discoveries that were not anticipated during the planning phase.
    • These discoveries paved the way for a new era of robotic investigation.

    Search for Life

    • Distant moons may hold the greatest potential for life beyond Earth.
