1983 Pioneer 10 departs solar system


After more than a decade in space, Pioneer 10, the world's first outer-planetary probe, leaves the solar system. The next day, it radioed back its first scientific data on interstellar space.

On March 2, 1972, the NASA spacecraft was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on a mission to Jupiter, the solar system's largest planet. In December 1973, after successfully negotiating the asteroid belt and a distance of 620 million miles, Pioneer 10 reached Jupiter and sent back to Earth the first close-up images of the spectacular gas giant. On June 13, 1983, the NASA spacecraft left the solar system. NASA officially ended the Pioneer 10 project on March 31, 1997, with the spacecraft having traveled a distance of some six billion miles.

Headed in the direction of the Taurus constellation, Pioneer 10 will pass within three light years of another star--Ross 246--in the year 34,600 A.D. Bolted to the probe's exterior wall is a gold-anodized plaque, 6 by 9 inches in area, that displays a drawing of a human man and woman, a star map marked with the location of the sun, and another map showing the flight path of Pioneer 10. The plaque, intended for intelligent life forms elsewhere in the galaxy, was designed by astronomer Carl Sagan.

Is that the same carl sagan who posts on here?

Some fear the dark but with friends like Orion,Cygnus and Andromeda one needs no fear

To me nature was mute, until i saw the stars

That's Byron Hatch, He crunches in respect to and in memory of
Carl Sagan who passed away in 1996.
He Was the founder and first president of the planetary society,
a biologist and astronomer.
I think he had a part in making SETI a reality or at least the idea of
looking for alien radio signals to detect other life.
I read his book Cosmos several times 26 years ago, ten years before
you where born, jeez I'm getting old.
Anyway, the man was like a God to me, still is :)
