AI overview
Voyager 2 is a NASA space probe launched to explore the outer planets of our Solar System, and it is currently the second-farthest spacecraft from Earth, just behind its sister probe Voyager 1. It matters because it has provided unprecedented close-up observations of distant worlds like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune that would otherwise be impossible to study from Earth.
