Can you guess the top 5 FARTHEST OBJECTS humans have sent into space?
Number 5 is 8.7 billion kilometers away. It’s called New Horizons, launched in 2006 to explore Pluto and the Kuiper Belt.
Number 4 is 16 billion km away, called Pioneer 11 and launched in 1973. It was the first spacecraft to visit Saturn! But now it’s signal can’t reach us anymore.
Number 3 is 20 billion km away Pioneer 10. It was the first spacecraft to reach Jupiter!
Number 2 is Voyager 2, it just overtook Pioneer 10 this year!
And in first place….
We’re apes on a rock, sending little probes out into the universe, exploring more and more and there’s still SO MUCH left to explore!
