IT has spent 46 years in our outer solar system travelling billions of miles – but it could be 300,000 more years before the spaceship Voyager 2 glimpses another star.
Before then, experts hope aliens will find the probe and the time capsule on board containing details about life on Earth.
Any ET cracking open the cache will be treated to music by Beethoven and Mozart, as well as Chuck Berry and Louis Armstrong’s Melancholy Blues.
And they will receive a message from Jimmy Carter, the US President when it blasted into space with its twin, Voyager 1.
The future of Voyager 2 looked uncertain just days ago after Nasa accidentally cut contact with it.
