Launched in 1977, the twin space probes Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 started their journey to reveal the secrets of the farthest planets in our Solar System. As both probes continue to navigate through the vast interstellar space today, they send back data to Earth during their adventures and enrich our understanding of uncharted territory.

Like two bottles thrown into the cosmic ocean, each probe carries a gold-plated record containing images, sounds, greetings and music to manifest the diversity of life and culture on Earth. It is hoped that any alien civilisation who may find the records someday in the future will be able to decode the information therein.

Get ready to be engaged in the farthest space mission in human history with the 3D Dome Show Voyager: the Never-Ending Journey 3D.

 

What is the duration of the longest expedition you have ever taken? Voyager 1 and 2 began their epic journey in 1977 and have been travelling for nearly 50 years.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System and its Great Red Spot is a gigantic storm which has been raging for centuries. The Voyagers are the first batch of spacecraft taking high-resolution images of Jupiter and its Great Red Spot.

Io is one of Jupiter's moons. With hundreds of active volcanoes, it is the most geologically active celestial body in the Solar System.

From the close-up images of the giant rings of Saturn captured by Voyager 1, scientists discovered that such rings were in fact thousands of tiny ringlets. These beautiful and dazzling rings are mostly made of ice crystals of various sizes.

The south pole of Triton has a range of geysers that spew nitrogen and dust through cracks in the surface ice. The plumes are so powerful that they can reach eight kilometers above the surface!

Voyager 1 and 2 have left the Solar System, and we will lose contact with them forever in a few years.

Each probe carries a gold-plated record which holds sounds and images from Earth, serving as small mementoes of human history. Perhaps one day, some alien civilisation may find them and learn about us.
