Nasa has detected a “heartbeat” signal from its Voyager 2 probe after it lost contact with it billions of miles away from Earth.
Mission controllers stopped hearing from Voyager 2 more than a week ago after sending a faulty command. On July 21, the satellite, which has been exploring the universe since 1977, was mistakenly told to tilt its antenna to point two degrees away from our planet, resulting in the probe no longer being able to receive commands or send data back to Earth.
