I totally forgot to post these from earlier this summer down in South Carolina when I was visiting my folks with the family! Back in late June early July.

My son and I were out on the Folly Beach Pier for some King fishing as we always do when we go there (you can see part of the King rig setup in the photos) when some thunderstorms moved through offshore and one produced a quite long-lived waterspout! Was pretty cool to see as I’ve never seen one off SC/Folly Beach areas before.

The storm itself was just a moderate cell at its best point, nothing major or out of the ordinary. It did however; give a great spectacle for the younger kids (which I pointed the waterspout out to several kids & their families that were unaware of its presence).

Not about weather… but scientific. I LOVE science and space!

•••

Voyager 1 is currently in interstellar space, over 24 billion kilometers (15 billion miles) from Earth, exploring beyond the Sun's influence. Launched in 1977, it is the farthest human-made object from Earth and is still operational, though its power is dwindling and communication will eventually cease in the 2030s.

Key Details:

Location:
Interstellar space, beyond the heliosphere, the sun's bubble of magnetic fields.

Distance from Earth:
Over 24 billion kilometers (approximately 15 billion miles) as of mid-2025.

Current Status:
Continues to send back scientific data from the outer solar system.

Future Journey:
Will travel through the Oort Cloud and eventually orbit the Milky Way galaxy.

Mission Life:
The spacecraft's power is declining, and communication is expected to end sometime in the 2030s. (This is sad as if it had the power it needs, we could learn SO MUCH about interstellar space and eventually about the mysterious Oort Cloud! 😭)

• Special Side Notation: It will take Voyager 1 close to 300 years traveling through Interstellar Space to reach the Oort Cloud and then roughly another 30,000 years to enter into Milky Way gallagic Interstellar space! 🤯

• Image 1 is the best breakdown image for ease of understanding, but it’s an older image. Both Voyagers are past the Heliopause and inside Interstellar Space!

• Image 2 is a much more in-depth and more accurate representation of our solar system and the positioning of both Voyagers.

• Image 3 is an excellent visualization of the Solar Winds given off by our Sun.

• Image 4 is an excellent analogy of the Terminal Shock boundary where our Sun’s solar winds go from supersonic to subsonic as they are slowed & scattered by incoming radiation winds/waves from the Milky Way Galaxy.
