surprises from the edge of the solar system
09.21.2006
sept. 21, 2006: almost every day, the great antennas of nasa's deep space
network turn to a blank patch of sky in the constellation ophiuchus. pointing at
nothing, or so it seems, they invariably pick up a signal, faint but full of
intelligence. the source is beyond neptune, beyond pluto, on the verge of the
stars themselves.
it's voyager 1. the spacecraft left earth in 1977 on a mission to visit
jupiter and saturn. almost 30 years later, with the gas giants long ago seen and
done, voyager 1 is still going and encountering some strange things.
