    Did you know that Voyager was launched in 1977.

    36 years later - on 12 Sep - Voyager left our Solar System!

    You link has: "Voyager 1 crossed the heliopause and entered interstellar space on August 25, 2012, making it the first spacecraft to do so."

    The Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of Earth taken Feb. 14, 1990, by NASA’s Voyager 1 at a distance of 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometers) from the Sun.

    Evidently no stars on the far side of the earth either.

    If the "Oort Cloud" comprised supposedly of long term comets, is indeed "orbiting" our Sun, then Voyager 1 did not exit our "solar system" when it passed through the heliosphere ( the outer edge of the solar wind bubble). OTOH, I doubt the Oort cloud actually exists....

    I am indeed.

    The theme song to that movie made for a great half-time performance for marching bands across the country. The university I attended at the time made the national recording of it.
