Many moons ago, we revealed our Golden Record to the world – and it's still traveling with us beyond the heliosphere. Congrats, NASA Europa Clipper and team, on this beautiful message. -V2

In 1979, my twin Voyager 1 discovered active volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io. Check out this awesome view of two simultaneously occurring eruptions. Ash clouds are rising more than 260 km above the surface in the eruption on the lower right. The other is at the shadow line. -V2

An update on my twin #Voyager1: The team recently sent a "poke" to prompt V1's flight data system (FDS) and received a signal that differed from past attempts. A DSN engineer helped decode this signal, which may contain clues to the source of the issue: go.nasa.gov/3RihsPR

How are we just now learning that Ed Stone, our longtime project scientist, has an asteroid named after him? Asteroid 5841 or "Stone," to be exact. Now, how do we get one? 😉 -V2

Engineers have confirmed that corrupted memory aboard my twin #Voyager1 has been causing it to send unreadable data to Earth. It may take months, but our team is optimistic they can find a way for the FDS to operate normally again: go.nasa.gov/3vGOBhw

Still here. 👋 And still more than 15 billion miles (24 billion km) away from Earth. It takes my team about 22.5 hours to send me a command and another 22.5 hours for my response to get back to them. That will continue to increase the further I travel into interstellar space. -V1

Kinda like when your power goes out and you have to go around your whole house resetting all your electronics... That's basically what my team and I are doing now. - V1

Is it cold in interstellar space? Yes. It's a few degrees above absolute zero out here, but our Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) provide both power AND heat. That, plus some blankets and heaters, and our insides parts are just above freezing. -V2

How do you say goodbye to someone who helped make your destiny possible? Thank you, Ed, for opening the door for our celestial exploration. You will forever be remembered as your legacy lives on beyond the heliosphere. 🖖 .- -.. / .- ... - .-. .- [Ad Astra]

Finally feeling more like me. Still can't believe the work my team is doing from 15 billion miles (24 billion km) away... - V1

#OTD in 1979, I made my closest approach of Jupiter at a range of about 400,785 miles (645,000 km) and sent back new data on the planet’s clouds, ring system, and its four largest moons - including these shots of Europa. Check out the fractures on that icy moon! -V2

15 billion miles (24 billion km) away and still feeling good! But don't take my word for it: Hear directly from my team, and get a chance to ask them your questions! Tune in tomorrow at 11:30am PT for this thing they call a Reddit AMA: reddit.com/r/askscience/ -V1

Just another Tuesday to you, but it's another day collecting data on the interstellar medium for my twin and I. I've been observing a unique pressure front from the Sun that crossed into interstellar space. We've nicknamed it Pf2. So, how's your Tuesday going? - V1

My mission began 47 years ago today when I joined my twin on our journey to the stars! 🚀 This past year has certainly been an eventful one. Makes you appreciate every day. Thanks to my team (and all of you) for not giving up on me! -V1
