NASA accidentally severs contact with Voyager 2 probe 12 billion miles from Earth

NASA has quickly misplaced contact with the Voyager 2 probe — the second-farthest human made object from Earth within the universe, presently crusing via interstellar house roughly 12.3 billion miles (19.9 billion kilometers) from residence.

In accordance with a assertion from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, scientists misplaced contact with the probe on July 21 after a sequence of deliberate instructions inadvertently brought on Voyager 2 to angle its antenna away from Earth by about two levels. Unable to transmit or obtain messages from NASA’s Deep House Community — a world array of enormous radio antennas that help a lot of NASA’s interplanetary missions — Voyager 2 is actually adrift and alone at the hours of darkness of house, having left the outer fringe of our photo voltaic system in November 2018.
