Voyager 1's Cryptic Communication Puzzles NASA

Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object from Earth, is transmitting a confusing stream of 1s and 0s, leaving NASA scientists puzzled. Attempts to fix the glitch from 24 billion kilometers away are underway, but it will take days to determine if the nearly 50-year-old computers can be restored. This is not the first time Voyager 1 has experienced communication issues, but engineers managed to resolve the problem in the past. The current glitch is disrupting the probe's flight data system and telemetry modulation unit, preventing the transmission of scientific and engineering data. With the probe's power running out, time is running out to send a final message before it falls silent.
