The Voyager 1 Spacecraft, launched in 1977, is nearing a departure from our solar system.

I’m adding this list to A Collection Of “The Best…” Lists On Space.

Here are my choices for The Best Sites For Learning About Voyager 1 & Its Departure From Our Solar System:

Clearly, NASA’s official page for Voyager 1 is the very best source for multimedia resources.

NASA’s interactive on the contents of the “Golden Record” carried by Voyager for other intelligent life to see and listen to is my favorite part of that site.

Humanity escapes the solar system: Voyager 1 signals that it has reached the edge of interstellar space – 11 billion miles away is from The Mail Online.

Graphic: Voyager 1 space probe exits the solar system is from The National Post.

The BBC has a special page on Voyager 1.

Here are some embedded videos (if you’re reading this on an RSS Reader, you might have to click through to see them):
