About this event
NASA’s Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft were launched in 1977 and flew past Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Nearly half a century later, they are now about 5 times farther than Pluto from the Sun and are in the interstellar medium, having left the sphere of influence of the Sun – the Heliosphere. The Voyager mission opened our eyes to many different new worlds. Dr. Fran Bagenal will present the glories of Voyager and discuss current and future exploration of the outer solar system.
