After weeks of silence, NASA has finally found Voyager 2's signal again, establishing connection with the probe in a miraculous way.
NASA has since resumed connection with the probe, but for a while, it was believed we would have to wait until October, when the probe automatically checked his configuration and signal to Earth, before restoration would happen. Thankfully that isn’t the case, as NASA has restored the Voyager 2 signal, and everything with the probe seems to be fine now.
Since launching from Earth almost 46 years ago, Voyager 2 has traveled over 12.4 billion miles from our planet, even leaving the heliosphere behind to cross into interstellar space. Like its sibling, Voyager 1, the probe is equipped with the “Golden Record,” which acts as both a time capsule and a welcoming gesture should the probe come across any intelligent alien life.
