The NASA Night Sky Network lists a November 4 online webinar at 9 p.m. Eastern about 50 years of Voyager discoveries, featuring Dr. Jeffrey Hayes. The mission’s long-distance communications, aging hardware and scientific endurance make it one of the most extraordinary engineering stories in space exploration.

The program is a low-effort way to broaden the week: bookmark the event, then tune in from home on Wednesday evening. NASA also provides a directory of local astronomy clubs and events if the topic sparks a deeper interest.

Voyager 1’s approach to a one-light-day distance is especially striking: a radio signal takes almost a full day to cross the distance in one direction.
