Let's talk about Voyager 1 and 2!
Join us Nov. 19 for a status update on the twin probes and a discussion of their unique mission. Plus, we'll have a Q&A session and a sneak peek at the upcoming NASA+ Voyager documentary. go.nasa.gov/4k942pz
ALT An artist's concept of the Voyager spacecraft, with its long antenna pointing down and to the right in the direction of Earth. Earth isn't visible in the image, but Voyager is among the stars. In the background, there is also a long, deep blue ribbon of gas and dust stretching from the bottom of the image to the top.

As Voyager 1 approaches one light-day from Earth, you can track its position, visualize the time it takes for its messages to reach home, and re-create its tour of the solar system. All it takes is our free, online solar system simulator!

OTD in 1998 V2 turned off the Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) to save 2.5 to 3.5 W of power. The UVS was designed for two very different measurements in the UV spectrum 40-180 nm range: both emission and absorption spectra, at highly different intensities. Dim emissions from atmospheric scattering, airglow, and auroras; but extremely bright solar occultations yielding absorption spectra. This huge dynamic range was accomplished using a partially reflective mirror that also avoided pointing the rest of the instruments at the Sun! Both these techniques gave data on what atoms and molecules were present at what heights in the observed atmospheres. #Voyager #Ultraviolet #Spectrometer

So you’ve probably seen a lot of posts and articles about Voyager 1 reaching the one light-day milestone on November 18, 2026. What are the _next_ milestones for the Voyager probes?
While Earth and even Jupiter fade into the background and become less relevant for the Voyagers, the Sun is still the dominant gravitational force, and will remain so for hundreds of years. On February 4 next year, Voyager 1 will reach the one light-day distance _from the Sun._ Why is this date different? Because of the position of Earth in its orbit around the Sun. Earth was a little farther away (orbiting around the ‘backside’ as seen from Voyager 1) and so the distance to Earth was a little greater in November.
For this next milestone, you will notice that the order is reversed (Sun first, Earth second), and now you can figure out why that is! On August 11, 2028 Voyager 2 will be 150 times as far from the Sun as the Earth, or 150 Astronomical Units (AU). It will be 150 AU from the Earth five weeks later on September 18, 2028.
The milestone after that? On January 6 2029, the two Voyagers will be 20 BILLION miles apart. I have milestones tagged out to 2100 (the current limit to the HORIZONS system for the Voyagers), but that’s for another post…

No other traveler has ever journeyed so far from home.
Voyager 1 is about to become the first human-made object to reach a distance of one light-day from Earth, or about 16 billion miles. ½

Next in, its just under 90 minutes of The Man Like. 33 years ago:
This is Sasha @ Soak, Corn Exchange, Leeds 28.08.93
Spectacular early 90's house by one of the very best. Both sides are different sections of the mix - joined them together. Tracklist in comments.

This is @Carl_Cox @ Final Frontier, Club UK, London 22.04.94

Final set for tonight is a lost (in some sense!) mix of this legend. 23 years ago:
This is @DJJohnDigweed @ Electronicult, Radio BU, Israel 06.11.03
Shows on Electronicult were usually repackaged mixes from other shows, or DATs. So the specific origin of this, I'm not sure. I know the broadcast of it was lost, but the mix itself may just be labelled different elsewhere. Anyway, two hours of superb house, no tracklist.
