Voyager 1 e pe cale să devină primul obiect creat de om ce ajunge la o zi-lumină față de Pământ

NASA's Voyager 1 is nearing a historic milestone, becoming the first human-made object to reach a light-day distance from Earth, but it faces communication challenges. Scheduled for November 18, the spacecraft will be 25.89 billion kilometers away, causing a 48-hour delay for messages. Recently, contact was lost for a day, but communication was restored. Engineers are investigating the cause of the disruption, noting that one of Voyager 1's thruster groups stopped working, triggering backup thrusters. This automatic response ensures the spacecraft remains stable while the team assesses the situation.
