2. NASA’s Voyager 2 probe reaches interstellar space
For only the second time in history, a human-made object has reached the space between the stars and it took more than four decades. Voyager 2 was launched in 1977 and is now more than 18 billion kilometres from Earth. Voyager 1 was the first human-made object to achieve this feat in August 2012, despite the fact that it was launched 16 days after Voyager 2.
