NASA fired off a message to Voyager 2, which is currently traveling in interstellar space, and the decades-old spacecraft responded. Voyager 2 was launched back in the late 1970s and has remained in communication with its handlers back on Earth ever since. The dish that sent the message is currently being worked on and will …
NASA’s Voyager 2 probe flew through a blob of charged gas called a plasmoid decades ago, and scientists only just now realized it. The blob could reveal secrets about the planet’s atmosphere loss, which may be related to its bizarre rotation and distinct wobble. Future missions near Uranus, or even to the planet’s surface, could …
When you’re trying to fix something, it helps to have that thing right in front of you. For NASA engineers, that’s often not possible, and when something goes wrong with a rover, satellite, or space probe, they have to figure out the problem and tell the high-tech machines what to do to make themselves right …
It’s not often that a NASA mission is still up and running over four decades after launch, but the space agency’s Voyager twins are anything but ordinary. The twin spacecraft were launched way back in 1977 and they’ve been speeding away from Earth the entire time. Lately, however, one of the spacecraft began acting up. …
NASA launched the Voyager 2 space probe in August of 1977. It’s since spent nearly four decades making its way out of the massive bubble called the heliosphere which is generated by the Sun and contains our entire Solar System. It accomplished that feat roughly a year ago, traveling into interstellar space and leaving our …
NASA’s Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft have been cruising through space since 1977. For the past forty years or so they’ve been speeding along at a clip of over 30,000 miles per hour, and while Voyager 1 has been in what is considered interstellar space — that is, outside the Solar System — for …
As if we didn’t see this one coming, the Palm Pre has made its official debut on Best Buy’s website. The handset is sporting a super-high $849 price tag which is apparently a deterrent. With a shortage of handsets “expected at launch”, Best Buy supposedly wants to discourage Best Buy employees and any other customers …
Rumors have been flying around over the past day or so regarding the enV Touch launch and we just confirmed that the handset will indeed launch with Verizon Wireless on June 5th. The update to the almost two-year-old Voyager will feature some much needed improvements including a 3-inch internal display with on-screen keyboard, external 3-inch …
When we showed you some exclusive pics of the LG enV Touch aka Voyager 2 we didn’t know a whole lot about the Verizon-bound device. Don’t worry though, as some new details have now emerged thanks to a leaked Verizon Equipment Guide. The handset will sport dual WVGA touchscreen displays, a full-QWERTY keypad, stereo speakers, …
One of our Verizon ninjas just sent through the latest Verizon Wireless rebate sheet covering May 11th to June 4th 2009 and it reveals a few upcoming handsets. We’ll tell you all right now though — there are no big surprises this month unfortunately. First up, an official confirmation of the upcoming env3 which will …
