The article in New York Times talks about the spacecraft that was sent into space 36 years ago and recently NASA was able to send a newer version of it into space. Voyage 1 was initially designed as a four-year mission to Saturn. It is the first spacecraft to exit our solar system. This will help scientists to explore the outside of our solar system. Voyage 1 stopped sending pictures however; it helped scientists to attain pictures of Saturn and Jupiter. Voyage 2 will be able to send better pictures and scientists expect it to exit our solar system in a few years. NASA has high hopes for the new and improved Voyage 2. By improving a spacecraft they will be able to get better samples and images of other planets further than Saturn and Jupiter and maybe even see what's outside of the solar system. They made a prediction that it will pass some stars and will be pulled by their gravity. I found this article interesting because nobody has yet seen what the outside of our solar system is like. Maybe NASA will be able to state some groundbreaking news from the new pictures that they will attain.
