Voyager's Great Journey

Long ago, two special helpers went to space. They are called the Voyager probes. These probes were made to fly very far away. Their big job was to visit large planets. They would send facts and pictures back to Earth. Voyager flew past Jupiter and then Saturn. It went on to see Uranus. It also flew past Neptune. The probes took many amazing pictures of these big, cold worlds. They collected important information about each planet and its moons. This helped us learn so much about our solar system. Today, the Voyager probes are still traveling. They are very, very far from us. They keep going out into deep, dark space.
