Voyager 1 starts science work again after computer problem.

Voyager 1, the farthest spacecraft from Earth, is working again. It had computer problems in November but is now sending data back to scientists.

Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 and is now in interstellar space. It studies things like plasma waves, magnetic fields, and particles.

Before reaching interstellar space, Voyager 1 made important discoveries. It found a thin ring around Jupiter and many moons around Saturn.

Voyager 1 is incredibly far from Earth, over 15 billion miles away. Its twin, Voyager 2, is also in interstellar space, over 12 billion miles away.

Both Voyager spacecraft continue to explore the universe and send back valuable information. Scientists are excited to learn more about interstellar space from their data.
