Voyager 1 is back online 15 billion miles away in interstellar space. But the end could be near.
From [@CNN](https://flipboard.com/@CNN ): "NASA engineers have successfully restored contact with Voyager 1 and the spacecraft is operating normally after its dwindling power supply caused a weekslong blackout. ... it’s just one of many challenges the mission team has had to face in recent years as Voyager 1, and its twin probe, Voyager 2, continue to defy the odds and explore space more than 47 years after they lifted off."
