    Voyager II leaves the Solar System, still not out of the Oort cloud - not even in it yet, that will take thousands of years.

    Incredible, to think that after 41 years it's only moved about 16/17 light hours!!


    edit actually, found this link, im sure it's been posted before .. but I like the ~real time data...

    Thought this looked interesting. MIT have an online course called "Introduction to Aerospace Engineering: Astronautics and Human Spaceflight". It covers concepts including rocket science, orbital mechanics, human spaceflight and life support systems etc. Running for 8 weeks and something to do and learn during the lockdown and gain a bit more insight into aerospace engineering and spaceflight. You go at your own pace and it is based off their undergraduate program so is a bit more than just a basic course. Signed up myself and looks really interesting and best of all it is free. https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-to-aerospace-engineering-astronautics
