3. Voyager 2 probe reaches solar system boundary

Some interesting facts below to put things in perspective:

Voyager 1 is currently travelling at a speed of 62,000 km/h (39,000 mph).

There are about 400,000,000,000 (4 hundred billion) stars in our galaxy. The closest to us is about 4 light years away (Proxima Centauri).

At the current break neck speed of 62,000 km/h, Voyager will reach our nearest neighbor in just over... 70,000 years!

I enjoy using these stats to show my friends how huge the universe really is and how isolated we are.

Kind of short, but always good to hear from Hitchens.

"I became a journalist so that I wouldn't have to rely on the press for information"

Well said.
