This article is about the voyager. The voyager is a space craft sent out by nasa in 1977. The voyager is traveling at a speed of 38,000 miles per hour. Reports now say the the voyager 1 has left the solar system, scientists are not sure if it is true that it did leave. One thing that the article talks about is cosmic rays, and the fact that the cosmic rays where extremely strange farther out in out solar system.

I think this article is very cool, America is really trying to explore out universe and i think that sending out the voyager was the coolest thing that Nasa has done. What I want to know more about is if the voyager is going to enter a new solar system or if it is going to keep traveling. I wonder if in the future Americans will look to see where the voyager is and it will be in a new galaxy.

This article by Cole Hill is about a new study that has measured the distance of a galaxy, the study shows that the galaxy is now 40,000 light years closer to the milky way that previously thought. The method used to measure the distance of the galaxy may change the way we measure things now. Although now scientists are focusing on looking at the galaxy that is closest to us.

I think this article is really cool. The fact that the galaxy is moving closer to us could be good and bad. Maybe the new method of measuring is the reason it is closer, I think that we should sent a probe to the galaxy, I know that it will take hundreds of years to get to the galaxy but it could open the eyes for the future and help them see what is out there.
