A pair of extraordinary space missions that have been headed out of the solar system for almost half a century are getting a new lease on life as NASA engineers order the Voyager 1 and 2 deep-space probes to shut down two instruments to save power.

There are 8 planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Naptune. The solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago from a cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The planets, asteroids, and comets orbit the sun in elliptical paths.
