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
Because space is mind boggling massive and empty. Voyager left Earth going 38k mph in 1977, it took until 2012 to get out of our solar system. It’s going to be another 77,000 years before it gets to the closest star.
