🇺🇸🛰- On this day, September 5, 1977, Voyager 1 launched from Cape Canaveral. It went on to transform our understanding of the outer planets, taking extraordinary photographs of Jupiter, Saturn, and their moons along the way, before becoming the first human-made object to enter interstellar space. Nearly 50 years later, it is still out there, farther from Earth than any human-made object has ever gone, carrying the Golden Record, a message from humanity filled with sounds, images, music, and greetings from Earth for any distant civilization that might one day find it. One of the greatest scientific and engineering achievements in human history.
