NASA's Voyager 1 mission launched in 1977, passed into what scientists call interstellar space in 2012 and just kept going — the spacecraft is now 14.5 billion miles (23.3 billion kilometers) away from Earth. And while Voyager 1 is still operating properly, scientists on the mission recently noticed that it appeared confused about its location in space without going into safe mode or otherwise sounding an alarm.

It’s aliens.

By the way, this sounds like how Star Trek I started.

NASA about to start getting calls… “we’ve been trying to reach you about your voyager’s extended warranty.”

A few questions: how does it still have power? How is it still sending a signal back to earth? I can barely catch wifi in every room, yet from billions of miles away it can send data.

I’m shocked it’s still transmitting after all these years. You know it has to hit all kind of space debris from asteroids and such it might just be finally starting to shite out.

It was assembled here in a room with normal gravity, it’s getting to parts in space where gravity, time, and distance play by vastly different rules than here on earth. Not surprising to see this but it is interesting AF nonetheless.

You're supposed to hold it over your head and move it in a figure 8 pattern.

How does a machine know its location in space?

Hell, how does anyone?
