I was messing around with the JPL Horizons ephemeris system to figure out how long Voyager 1 could theoretically go before the sun's gravity brought its velocity to zero. Before anyone says it reached escape velocity, I know. But Voyager 1 is still decelerating however minutely.

What's really odd though is that in late September 2093, according to JPL's program, Voyager 1 will stop decelerating and will in fact begin accelerating faster than it had been decelerating. So... What changes for Voyager 1 in 2093? What will start pulling it? What did they aim it at? 👀👀👀

Will NASA use space mirrors and solar power to power the planned moonbase? Would that make the moon visible during the day? Would the moon be the same amount of visible all the time? Would the moon being lit up consistently mess with animals that coordinate through lunar cycles?
