In 1980, Voyager 1 flew close enough to Titan to reveal its thick nitrogen atmosphere — but the gravity-assist geometry bent the spacecraft permanently out of the planetary plane, trading Uranus and Neptune for one close look at Saturn’s largest moon
On 12 November 1980, Voyager 1 passed 6,490 kilometres from Titan’s centre, about 3,900 kilometres above the moon’s…
Across Titan’s equator, winds have built dunes around 100 metres high and hundreds of kilometres long — but the grains are water ice coated in hydrocarbons that fell out of the moon’s orange atmosphere
Cassini’s radar found dark, nearly parallel dune belts running across Titan’s equatorial regions. Individual ridges are commonly one…

Voyager 1 is still crossing interstellar space with six computers holding about 68 kilobytes of memory between them — less storage than a single compressed photograph on a modern phone
Voyager 1 carries six flight-computer units designed in the early 1970s, and NASA’s own accounting puts their combined…

The lines etched into Voyager’s Golden Record cover point towards 14 pulsars whose spinning clocks reveal both where the Sun is and roughly when the spacecraft left — directions designed to work without relying on a single human language
The starburst etched into the lower-left corner of Voyager’s Golden Record cover is neither decoration nor a picture…
