Science

This is the best summary I could come up with:

NASA lost contact with its Voyager 2 spacecraft—the second-most distant object ever built by humans and flung into space—nearly two weeks ago due to an errant command sent to the probe.

The mission's scientists believed they had several options to restore communications with the half-century-old probe.

NASA's Deep Space Network facility in Canberra, Australia, was able to send a "shout" command to Voyager instructing the spacecraft to reorient itself into a proper position to facilitate communication with Earth.

Shortly after midnight on Friday morning, at 12:29 am ET, Voyager 2 started streaming back science and telemetry data.

Prior to the launch of Voyager 1 and 2 in 1977 on two different rockets, humans had been gazing at fuzzy blobs in the outer Solar System for hundreds of years.

The Voyagers uncovered complex planetary systems and incredible moons, such as volcano-covered Io, icy Europa, and Titan, with its methane seas.
