The Secrets of the Universe | NASA Says Voyager 1 is Sending a Strange Signal From Interstellar Space @TheSecretsoftheUniverse | Uploaded 7 months ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object in space, is in trouble. The spacecraft, which has been traveling for nearly half a century, is experiencing serious issues transmitting data back to Earth. It has suddenly started sending a strange pattern of 1s and 0s, which makes no sense. This has put engineers and scientists on their toes to diagnose and fix the problem from 24 billion kilometers away so that the historic mission can continue to provide invaluable insights from its journey through space.
But what exactly is causing the spacecraft to transmit this mishmash of data? Is this just a small technical glitch or a significant malfunction happening in the background? Finally, and most importantly, considering the spacecraft's age and distance, is it even possible to address this issue?
