In 1977 NASA's twin Voyager spacecrafts embarked on an incredible journey to the outer planets and beyond. After delivering stunning images of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, the probes sailed on to study the boundary of our heliosphere, the bubble that encompasses our sun, planets and solar wind, crossing that frontier in 2012 as the first human-made object in interstellar space. On Friday, Aug. 25, at 7 p.m. in the Vosloh Forum (building UU on this map) at Pasadena City College, Dr. Alan Cummings, senior research scientist at Caltech and a Voyager team member for more than 40 years, will present highlights of Voyager journeys and speculate on what lies ahead for the intrepid twins.
