The Voyager-1 spacecraft, which is currently traveling in interstellar space, recorded a special sound.
Which is called "hum". At present, the Voyager-1 spacecraft is located 23 billion kilometers away from
the Earth. Two man-made vehicles entering the interstellar space are powered by Voyager-1 and 2 radio
isotope thermoelectric generators. Voyager-1 is moving away from the earth at a speed of 16 km per second.
And Voyager 2 is going 15 km per second. Two spacecraft were launched in 1986. Multiple of their sensors
are still working.
Before entering the interstellar space, its camera is turned off to save battery. The interstellar space
is the outer part of the star's magnetic field. At present they are free from all attraction to the sun.
They will only continue like this until their batteries run out and their contacts are disconnected from
the earth.

“Even if there is no connection.
Even if you are far from reach.
Even if friendship is not enough.
Even if love itself is not enough.
What about apathy?
I need you.”
― Nurudeen Ushawu
