Engineers have repaired an issue affecting telemetry data from @NASAVoyager 1 that was identified earlier this year. While the team continues to investigate the root cause, the spacecraft appears healthy and continues to gather and return science data. go.nasa.gov/3R2vfZH

Voyager 2 is a spacecraft that lives always in my heart. In 2012, six years before it passed the heliopause, I interviewed the spacecraft through its Twitter avatar. theconversation.com/an-inter… #Voyager45 @NSFVoyager2 @pffli

This diagram, from the 'The Voyager Uranus Travel Guide', shows the different trajectories of Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. I love the shell-like graphic. #Voyager45 @NASAVoyager

The Earth portrayed on the Golden Records will probably be unrecognisable even 100 years from now. theconversation.com/after-45… #Voyager45 @NASAVoyager

The Voyager Golden Records are endlessly fascinating. In the 90 minutes of music, there is 1.24 seconds of Yolngu music from Milingimbi Island in the Northern Territory of Australia. Who were the Aboriginal musicians who are going to the stars? #Voyager45 theconversation.com/beyond-t…

But of course I love Voyager 1 as well - its 45 launch anniversary is on Sept 5 - here @lucidkevinor and I talk about the spacecraft crossing that invisible line between our world and the next theconversation.com/voyager-… #Voyager45

This is my long interview with Voyager 2, through the amazing @pffli who continues to represent the spacecraft on Twitter. I think you'll agree that Voyager 2 has a diffident charm that is utterly beguiling. zoharesque.blogspot.com/2012… #Voyager45

This galaxy is so far away that the expansion of the universe is causing it to recede from us faster than the speed of light. Weirder: it has ALWAYS been receding faster than light. When the photons we are now seeing were first emitted, they were moving directly AWAY from us.
I wrote about the discovery of what could be the most distant galaxy we've ever seen. You're seeing this cosmic tomato as it was just 300 million years after the Big Bang.
Important caveats in here, but also lots of wonder about what comes next: theatlantic.com/science/arch…
