Is there any sience they still so on this thing? As I understood it they are running out of power to run instruments?


A small amount due to how far away it is so it can observe extrasolar space. Not very well since a lot of the instruments don’t work but still useful information.


As recently as 2018, Voyager 2 provided a very interesting bit of data in the form of leaving the heliosphere[1], indicating the spacecraft has officially left the neighborhood.
