Will Voyager 1 reach a black hole?
Nope. The closest black hole is millions of trillions of miles away, more distant than any star. Neither will either Voyager encounter a star, given the extremely vast size of the tiny portion of the Milky Way Galaxy they will traverse within the next several thousand years.
Will we ever send a probe to a black hole?
No so far there is no plan to send probe to orbit black hole but we are more interested in finding the presence of black hole.
Has NASA sent a satellite into a black hole?
For the first time, NASA’s planet-hunting Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) watched a black hole tear apart a star in a cataclysmic phenomenon called a tidal disruption event.
How many light years away is Voyager 2 from the Sun?
In about 40,000 years, Voyager 2 will come within about 1.7 light years of a star called Ross 248, a small star in the constellation of Andromeda.. Where do we consider our solar system to end; Pluto’s orbit?
How long will it take Voyager 1 to reach the Oort cloud?
But it will take about 300 years for Voyager 1 to reach the inner edge of the Oort Cloud and possibly about 30,000 years to fly beyond it. Voyager 2 has not yet reached interstellar space or exited the heliosphere (bubble of solar plasma).
What star is Voyager 2 headed toward?
Voyager 2 is not headed toward any particular star, although in roughly 42,000 years it will pass 1.7 light-years from the small red dwarf star Ross 248, which is in the northern constellation of Andromeda. If the probe is undisturbed for 296,000 years, Voyager 2 should pass 4.3 light-years from the star Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky.
How long will it take Voyager 1 to reach interstellar space?
Voyager 1 was the first-ever object to reach interstellar space on August 25, 2012 when it passed beyond the sun’s realm of plasma influence (the heliosphere) and it is the most distant human-made object. But it will take about 300 years for Voyager 1 to reach the inner edge of the Oort Cloud and possibly about 30,000 years to fly beyond it.
