The Last Place Voyager 2 Will Ever Reach Before It Dies

Voyager 2 is over 21 billion kilometers from Earth, and every year it gets a little weaker. Launched in 1977, it was only supposed to photograph Jupiter and Saturn. Instead, it became the only spacecraft to ever visit Uranus and Neptune, crossed into interstellar space, and is now drifting toward a silence that will last longer than human civilization has existed. Bolted to its side is a golden record carrying thunder, whale songs, Beethoven, greetings in 55 languages, and the recorded heartbeat of a woman who fell in love while helping to build it. In this video, we trace Voyager 2's entire journey, from its gravity-assisted tour of the outer planets to the slow shutdown of its instruments, and follow its trajectory tens of thousands of years into the future, toward stars it will never orbit and a darkness no one will ever witness.
