Fun fact: Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 and as of 2024, it has been travelling for 47 years. Almost for 47 years but it hasn't even completed one percent of 1 Light Year unit. This is how massive a single light year is. And our universe (observable) is estimated to be 93-95 Billion light years wide. Even among the brightest mind of human civilization, the number is still not easy to comprehend when we think about it deeply. Next time you get a chance to explain the size of the universe, use this fact.
What is even more astonishing is that the scientists fixed a glitch on the voyager 1 from earth that was built before 1977. Truly humans are an amazing outcome of this universe!
I just can't stop thinking of what if aliens find Voyager 1, decrypt the Golden Record and go to Earth, only to find that humanity has gone extinct a few hundred thousand years prior. Imagine they find that record and see all our culture, how rich it is and all, for them it might even be the first alien life they find too. And then they reach Earth and find ruins. Would be heart wrenching.
They would still at least have some remains of what humanity used to be like, artefacts, maybe even some living beings, just not humans. Who knows, they may even come across the legendary “iPhone”
Why not tho? Their technology path could be entirely different from us.Their technology path could be biological. Maybe they are so advanced that our equipment couldn't receive their Singal. Or Maybe they are just like us, No FTL travel tech yet. The safest option is to use Voyager.
What do you know, well you aren't supposed to know a lot of these things you don't even voyager could design a civilization without half your technologies that the proper idealism for this modern society is the end of science and technology, we just do experiments to learn things we should know or be aware of not doing, thst it's a business itself that will collapse humanity they want to space travel? We need to learn to live in the world and forget about the unknown genesis of a universe and advanced technology and architecture
Voyager 1 is hopefully going to stay with us. sadly theres a chance it gets eaten by a black hole or burnt to space crisps when encountering a star, it has gone a long way.
It's unlikely any of that will happen. It could drift right through the core if the Milkyway (barring Sag-A*), fly straight through and leave the Milkyway altogether and never hit anything. The odds of it being roasted by a star are unfathomably small. The odds of a black hole are even smaller. Heck, I'd bet we have a greater chance of encountering aliens or colonising Mars before Voyager encounters a star or black hole
@@713serialtoucher incorrect. Voyager 1 is not travelling in the direction of Alpha Centauri, which is our closest star. If it were to travel there, it would "only" take around 60,000 - 80,000 years. Not half a billion which is 500,000,000 years, clearly not 80,000
I came to the realisation when looking at the simulated picture that our sun from voyagers perspective just looks like any other star in the sky. You wouldn’t assume anything special of it, yet it’s where the only known place where life exists in the entire universe. It really gives you perspective on how small we are and how little impact we have outside of our own planet.
To this day, whenever I see the famous “Pale Blue Dot”, I think to myself, all 8 billion of us live on that one pixel. All our memories, sadness, happiness, depression everything in within that one pixel. Damn I love space.
Imagine if they turn it on and see a GIANT alien (the size of a galaxy) in the distance, sitting on rock like Jabba The Hut & there’s planets orbiting it.
@@theofficialgreenkane it's clear Ur a kid by saying that. If an alien was the size of a galaxy, he would have the mass of a galaxy and pull everything (including Earth) towards it. Also we would've seen it if it's the size of a galaxy eve from Earth.
Under a minute! i really like your way of editing and teaching! I'm a highschool student and these videos motivate me that there's something more out there bigger than trigonometry. ❤️ Thanks for posting
It is uncanny to think that maybe someday in the unimaginable future, Voyager will be what proves to another sentient life out there that they are not alone, or more so WEREN'T alone, that sentience has happened before.
@AstroKobi do you really think we were interested in a video from you today? I hope so, because damn, you make excellent videos. It's always a joy to see a new video from you
Imagine if by some crazy possibility it somehow reaches earth again and the files of it are lost so people believe it is a spacecraft sent by aliens and when they read the disk they are surprised to see that it is extremely similar to our earths history
@@ElenarMT The only way I could see this happening is if it gets gravitationally pulled by a few celestial bodies that just happen to shoot it back towards our direction
It could also work like this: You know how AstroKobi said, and in general, it's gonna orbit the milky way just like the sun, and well, maybe in like 300 million years, it encounters the sun again and enters the solar system again. But the odds of us actually detecting it are quite small since it's really hard for us to detect such small objects such as Voyager 1.
Finally! About year ago i was soo interested in Voyager 1, but i couldnt find any interesting videos about it like yours. Thank you for making this video :)
I really like to watch your videos and shorts everytime you post , the whole thing like editing , voice over , sound mixing and amazing space facts which you tell us!. Plz i need daily videos like this 🙏
since it was made 47 years ago, and we can still somewhat receive signals. why don't we just send another one with more power, further reach (frequency wise), and that can travel faster? we've evolved so much technologically since then. and if we did make one, it would most likely last longer, it would be much faster, and we would still be able to communicate with it even if it were twice or even three times as far as voyager 1 is right now. we could also communicate with it quicker. with our technology now, i'm gonna estimate that it would take about half an hour to an hour to get from earth to where voyager is
Scientists aren’t currently making another Voyager because of high costs, decades-long timelines, and the need for advanced propulsion and communication technologies. Current missions focus on exploring closer targets like Mars and Europa. However, concepts for interstellar probes, such as NASA’s Interstellar Probe, are being studied to eventually continue the legacy of the Voyager missions.
@@real_kerbzYT Bruh it aint that far , for 163 AU light takes 13 hours to reach voyager and 22 hour for the radio signal from voyager to reach earth hence it will show the picture of earth past 1.5 day .
It would be really nice if the voyagers camera would be turned on one last time, since it's gonna run out of power soon anyway. I'm curious to know what we might see
I can recall a scifi short story, decades ago - can't remember the author. The story ending with a holographic recording saying to a human explorer on a far distant planet, "But - these aren't our ruins - they're yours!"
Kobi, what do you think will happen first? An alien civilization will find voyager and the golden record, or we will develop the technology and rendezvous with it somewhere in the cosmos?
All it takes is light to power up....image thousands of years from now and someone something recaptures its transmission. If mankind is still around it would be an epic achievement.
ok i have a theory idk if they done it yet but... if we place a comminucating satelite for a certain distance and use those satilites would work the same way as a step up transformer...this takes time to set up but it can really amplify the transmission speed... for example it nearly takes 4 hours for a signal to reach from neptune to earth... but if we were ever able to setup a mechanism that amplifies the signal and recharges itself with solar it can never run out until any equipment is malfunctioned.. and since there is no prrof of life forms we can use even higher radiating signals from a point which would easily transmit signals....🤯
