Voyager 2 Becomes Second Spacecraft to Ever Reach Interstellar Space

|Updated:

NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft entered interstellar space, a region of space that only one other manmade spacecraft has ever reached.

The Voyager 2 was launched in the summer of 1977, along with its twin spacecraft, Voyager 1. The two have been traversing space for decades, each with different missions. Voyager 1 entered interstellar space in 2012, and Voyager 2 is now also there, the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory reported.
