And it's closer to the sun. But V2 made more planetary stops along the way.
It stands to reason that Voyager I would be farther away, assuming they travels at equal speeds, and as you alluded to, the comparative stops along the way. I just looked it up, and V2 did indeed get launched first, which I never realized.
Yeah, 300 more years until it enters the Oort Cloud!
Saturn is 10 AU's from the sun?It’s amazing to think our sun, which is a relatively ho-hum star, still has that much gravitational influence even at that distance with respect to the Oort Cloud.
What makes you think it has no end? We'll never be able to see the end of it because it's moving away from us faster than light, but it is finite, if the reigning theories are correct.
About the only thing I remember from one of the original cast's less entertaining installments. VGER = Voyager
Or it may never enter it. Since the Oort cloud has never been observed and it may not even exist.
True, that's possible.
how could it be finite?
I always thought about that too.....what could be at the end? Even if there was a wall, what's on the other side? Nothing? Well that's still something. Endless nothing is still infinite.
It's entirely possible that outside our universe is another universe, or infinite number of universes. It's also possible that there's absolutely nothing. Just because we can't wrap our heads around the concept of nothingness doesn't mean it isn't possible. How can you be sure anything is infinite? You can't measure it, see it, or prove that there isn't a point at which anything just inexplicably ends, even though common sense tells you it can't.
