How do long range space probes like Voyager 1 anticipate traveling through space for hundreds or thousands of years without hitting something, getting pulled into something’s gravity and crashing, etc?
In: Planetary Science
Space is big. Really big. Much bigger than a ship on the ocean.
If you are on a random spot on the ocean, the chance of crashing into something is next to nil, especially if (for all intents and purposes) it’s infinite. There almost no islands in the middle of the pacific. As there are almost no planets/asteroids in space.
