Voyager 1's Glitches Puzzle NASA as It Sends Nonsensical Messages from Interstellar Space

TL;DR Summary
NASA's Voyager 1 space probe, which has been in space for almost five decades and is the first human-made object to leave the solar system, is experiencing a communications glitch. The probe, currently 15 billion miles away from Earth, is sending repetitive and nonsensical data back to NASA. Scientists suspect a malfunction in the spacecraft, and the issue is being investigated. Last year, NASA deactivated certain systems on Voyager 1 and its counterpart, Voyager 2, to extend their operational lifespan until 2030. After that, the probes will cease to function and drift aimlessly through space.
