Hint:

In 1977 NASA launched the Voyager 1 & 2 deep space probes. 2 was launched first followed by the launch of 1 a month later. Both have explored Jupiter and Saturn. As of 2018 both have passed into the interstellar space, the cosmic void in between constellations. In late 2023 Voyager 1 began sending unreadable data back to NASA. Engineers developed a work-around fix and on April 20 NASA began receiving valid data again. Both probes will have traveled past the limit of being able to send and receive data from earth some time after 2036, but their slowly dying power systems are expected to fully be exhausted some time after 2025.
