NASA: Voyager 1 probe has left the solar systemLOS ANGELES -- Voyager 1 has crossed a new frontier, becoming the first spacecraft ever to leave...By ALICIA CHANG
NASA announced on Fridaythat data from Voyager 2 shows an increase in the rate of cosmic rays from outside our solar system hitting the probe. The agency'sVoyager 1 spacecraft had a similar experiencein 2012 shortly before leaving the solar system. ...

the exoplanet orbits the star Kepler-37 about 210 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lyra. It’s only one-third the size of Earth and smaller than Mercury, which makes it not only the smallest planet yet found outside the Solar System, but the smallest planet...
The James Webb Space Telescope is the world’s premier space science observatory. Webb will solve mysteries in our solar system, look beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probe the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it. Webb is an international progra...
Pioneer 10 was the first probe to the outer planets, flying by Jupiter, while Pioneer 11 provided the first close up view of the planet. Both probes became the first objects to leave the Solar System. The Voyager program launched in 1977, conducting flybys of Jupiter and Saturn, Neptune,...
The probe was launched three years ago and set out to circle closer to the sun. NASA said this is a monumental moment for solar science. They hope this milestone will provide them with deeper insights into the sun's evolution and its impacts on our solar system. Countdown ...
distant worlds in our galaxy. One of four low-cost astrophysics missions selected for further concept development underNASA’s new Pioneers program, Pandora would study approximately 20 stars and exoplanets –planets outside of our solar system– to provide precise measurements of exoplanetary ...
The DSN connects the Earth with 40 spacecraft outside of Earth’s orbit, including the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope, two Voyager probes in interstellar space, and Mars rovers, orbiters, and probes. Previously, theDSN connected with the Cassini probe, which was intentionally plunged ...
