That is how long Voyager 2 has been traveling in the vast infinite of space, and you will not believe just how much our little space scout has learned in its travels. Equipped with a multitude of scientific instruments, Voyager 2 is more than capable of giving us a play-by-play of its journey through the stars. Let’s start with the info we got from our solar system. While our advanced telescopes can observe our neighbor planets from the Earth, it doesn’t compare to being up close and personal with them.
