Voyager 2 has been traveling through space since August 1977. This vintage probe hasn’t been slacking although it’s been in service for an extended period. It’s traveled to numerous planets in our solar system and has sent back valuable images and information about our universe. Voyager 2 continues to wow scientists with the information it’s bringing back from space. This data is breaking boundaries, as the probe continues to travel deeper into space. Let’s take a look at some of its discoveries that have left scientists shocked.
