--> PORTED TO UNITEX BY: ABC World News Tonight Friday August 25, 1989 Morton Dean New York, NY 1:55 (10%) As Voyager flies out of the solar system, most of its job is finished. For another 30 years, until its nuclear fuel is gone, Voyager is expected to continue sending scientific data. As Voyager passes from our solar system to interstellar space, scientific instruments may record for the first time the boundary of our solar system. Programers say Voyager will next approach a celestial body in 40,000 years, when it passes the star Ross 248 at a distance of 6 trillion miles. Voyager is prepared to introduce Earth to any living being encountered during its wandering. Onboard are all kinds of sounds and pictures from Earth, including greetings. * Origin: UNITEX --> Toward a United Species (1:107/501) --- Patt Haring | UNITEX : United Nations patth@sci.ccny.cuny.edu | Information patth@ccnysci.BITNET | Transfer Exchange -=- Every child smiles in the same language. -=-
