What If We Turned On Voyager 1’s Camera?

i have space shuttle lego

Its crazy when you think about it

My fav is the landing of our country's Chandrayaan 3

I'd like to think that in the future, maybe after we reached type 2 civilization, we will expand and somehow find voyager again, imagine the awe it would bring us to see this ancient piece of technology back in our home system. But that may happen in the next 10-20 thousand years or even more who knows. The thought was cool

how can Voyager survive even when we are gone ?

Need to go thousands of light years to see shift of stars? Why? Most of our easily visible stars on the sky is less than 100 light years away. Also, astronomers use to calculate distance based on parallax of nearby stars as Earth moves around the sun (2AU distance).

I still using iphone 6, even though it has only 54% battery capacity 😏

I’ve been struggling to get Wi-Fi signals across the rooms. Thus making me appreciate this to a next level.

I hope we send another such deep space probe

I was born right before the picture was taken (1989)

“We(Alalh) shall show them our signs in the universe and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them that this is the truth. Is it not enough that your lord is the witness of all things?”
[Quran, 41:53]

Universe
A mobile phone is clearly something that was put together in an organised way, so it would be rational to believe that it must have an organiser. In the same way, when we see the order in the universe around us, isn’t it rational to say that the universe has an organiser?

👉Allah almighty our creator says,
“We made the sky a protective ceiling. And yet they are turning away from Our signs!” (Quran 21:32)

Sky’s protection:
The sky protects the earth from the lethal rays of the sun. If the sky did not exist then the sun’s radiation would have killed off all life on earth. It also acts like a blanket wrapped around the earth, to protect it from the freezing cold of space. The temperature just above the sky is approximately -270oC. If this temperature was to reach earth then the planet would freeze over instantly. The sky also protects life on earth by warming the surface through heat retention.

It's clear proof that Qur'an is from God.

The current rate in which we're evolving now, its not impossible that we might be able to find a faster and more efficient way for space travel and catch up to voyager with some spaceship somewhere along the future. I imagine it would be quite an intresting and adventurous mission for whoever takes it.

Edit - after writing this comment, i realized that perhaps the comment is a bit too optimistic. But even so, just thinking that Voyager may not be lost to us FOREVER is a thrilling concept in itself and i just cannot help but feel emotional.

How is it that JWST shows all that detail and space dust and voyager has nothing interesting while billions of light years away!

That’s a long ass way of saying “nothing happens”

I still cant believe earth of all things was visible on a 800 bit camera from like 3.7 billion miles away. Thats a billion miles farther than neptune btw

How many gigabytes of RAM does the average brain have?

Full video on what voyeger will see which is nothing....

How chandrayan 3 is sending moon images to earth

While I realize that both Voyagers have passed the heliopause, they are Not in true interstellar space. They have not passed nor even reached the Oort Cloud. The Oort Cloud is the boundary. And it stretches nearly to light years.

I have 4 cones in my eyes lol

Voyeger 1&2 you both are legends forever will be remembered thank you❤️

i thought 70's computers were all valve made, big multiple room size setup with huge energy requirements.

it would be interesting to learn, if someone covers how and based on what technology voyager & earlier spacecraft computers were made, and how did they work. and how they are still working after so many years.
🙏

I feel a little sad for the probes. The last lines, they will continue to hurtle through space millions of years after we are gone. Just the frailty of human life and existence. 😢

Was sooo engrossed in the video and then came "nord vpn" from no where. Just changed the video.😂

Voyager 1 just needs a hug

Voyager lasting longer than many Chinese products

My favorite is voyager, but a very specific aspect of it. The golden record carried on it. All kinds of languages, music, important things to us. It just shows how we as a species are so inclined to reach out and connect with others.

A week before I was born 2/21/1990

Maybe just before the RTG shuts down forever, they should turn on the cameras one last time.

It”d be interesting to see what voyager sees as it passes thru instella space! Millions of miles outside our solar system , -
We got cameras everywhere here on earth why not the unvirse!

Imagine if future humans were able to achieve interstellar travel, I'd like to think they'll catch voyager and finally bring it back home 😊

Am I alone in hoping I am still around when our galaxy collides with Andromeda. 😬

No outer space, nada. NASA is just a huge money laundering scheme. We cannot get past the firmament. Everything is filmed on a stage set. Wake up.

now tell me why ?

You might be surprised to learn that the Voyagers' tech along with that of most deep-space probes today is not way ahead of its time. Quite the contrary: most of the tech is mature, proven tech, and the reason is reliability.
Deep space is an unimaginably hostile environment for electronics. Here on Earth and in near-Earth space, we and our machines are largely shielded from the galaxy's highest-energy cosmic rays - charged particles that can wreak havoc on the multiplicity of semiconductor junctions - the transistors and diodes in integrated circuits. The particles ionize these juctions, making them conductive at times when they are not supposed be, leading to all kinds of chaos. The junctions in modern integrated circuits are minute, measuring mere nanometers. When a high-energy charged particle comes barrelling through, they don't stand a chance. This why even modern space probes use much older processors, such as the PowerPC. Their transistors are much larger and, even though they present a larger target, they are disproportionately more robust against these deleterious effects.
Look at Juno, the probe currently orbiting Jupiter with part of its orbit inside Jupiter's absolutely insane radiation environment that would kill a human in days, yet it keeps on ticking, in part because it uses 'old' tech, and in part because the most critical electronics are housed inside a titanium vault at the spacraft's core.

feel sorry for voyeger... too lonely...

maybe voyager 1 going across to another galaxy.. i hope will be happened..

I'm guessing that if thats turned on again (if thats even possible), the batteries will run out...

Pioneer 10 never gets any love 😢 Why?

Why are the Voyager 1 and 2 still working? They were conceived in the 60's, and build in the 70's. Now days, things are more advanced but cheaply made.

Whippersnappers - All of ya!! My favorite space moment was watching Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin land on the freaking moon! One small step for a man... one giant...pair of American balls bouncing off Russia's chin! My second favorite space moment was watching 70+ year old Buzz Aldrin punch a guy in the face for suggesting it was a hoax!

I'd also disagree a bit that "...after traveling 23 billion km, the star constellations would look exactly the same." New Horizons hasn't traveled that far and we've already had stories of it seeing parallax shifts. Plus, measuring star parallax from Earth is one of the early rungs in the cosmic distance ladder - and that is only across our orbit around the sun.

V'ger

So, what you're saying is, it's a pretty big place out there.

I have to go with the moon landing. When they let you out of school, to go home and watch TV, it's a BIG deal. You didn't get out of school for anything in those days. LOL

voyage

Voyager 1 will most likely be the only sign humans existed when we are gone pretty odd to think

Why didn't it take pictures when it was closer to Earth? I would think it would be a priority to take as pictures as possible, of everything before it was shut off.
