After months of challenging trouble-shooting and suspenseful waiting, Voyager 1 is once again talking to Earth.
The aging NASA spacecraft, about 24 billion kilometers from home, began transmitting garbled data in November. On April 20, NASA scientists got the probe back online after uploading new flight software to work around a chunk of onboard computer memory that had failed. They’re now receiving data about the spacecraft’s health and hope to hear from its science instruments again in a few weeks,
Freefalling 8,000ft above Cabo San Lucas was certainly a different way of seeing this star-studded resort city with the white sand beaches and azure waters zooming closer second by second.
In a bid to explore the more adventurous side of this glitzy coastal destination in the Mexican state of Baja California which is beloved by everyone from George Clooney to Justin Bieber, I’d signed up for skydiving on day four of my vacation with a run of other adrenaline-pumping activities
Britain’s van life movement has taken off in recent years. Laura Sharman spent a weekend away in Kent in converted Peugeot Boxer ‘Franky’ (above, with Laura) to see what the fuss is about
Waking up to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore on the Isle of Sheppey, I couldn’t be happier about my weekend away with Franky – a Peugeot Boxer converted into a home on wheels.
With the doors of the van wide open, I propped
I woke up to the braying of donkeys. Opening the window to morning air perfumed by wisteria and honeysuckle, I could see the herd — 16 sweet-eyed animals in all — grazing by the olive groves of La Pescaia, a country estate turned idyllic inn that embodies a fantasy of pastoral happiness for me: life among animals and bird song and olive trees, encircled by the rugged nature of Maremma, in Italy.
The most sparsely settled area of Tuscany, spilling

NASA lost contact with the Voyager 2 spacecraft after the space agency accidentally sent it the wrong command and slightly tilted its antenna away from Earth.
Voyager 2, which has been exploring the outer regions of the solar system after its launch in 1977, is currently located around 12 billion miles from Earth — and now, the spacecraft can’t send data back or receive commands, CBS News reported. The accidental antenna shift occurred when NASA sent a series of
The affable advice at Aussie Trax, the four-wheel drive hire company located at Kingfisher Bay Resort, is: ‘No worries if yer run into strife, but try not to, mate.’
And then we set off to explore K’gari, the world’s largest sand island, nine miles off Queensland’s southeastern coast and 160 miles north of Brisbane.
With just a couple of campsites, one resort and no permanent residents, these 75 miles by 14 miles of rainforest growing on sand (the only place
The moment the motor turned off, I was hooked.
It was 20 minutes into my first Swedish sailing trip on a blazingly sunny morning in late June. I’d set sail with two friends from their summer house on Kilholmen, a wooded islet in the central archipelago, about an hour by bus (then a five-minute boat ride) from Stockholm. After motoring through a narrow waterway, past smooth, rounded cliffs backed by pine forests and the occasional red timbered cottage, we entered
Argyll and the Isles — close to Glasgow — are marketed as Scotland’s ‘adventure coast’, and I recently saw them up close and personal with a folding bike, a bus, and a bunch of ferry tickets.
I was following cycling routes devised by a German guy who so fell in love with Scotland he moved there. Eighteen years later, he now writes books and shoots videos of his adventures showing the world why this part of Scotland is heaven for

Foreign travel should – even in a world shrunken by cheap flights and the internet – conjure at least one slice of magic, so evocative, so alien and enthralling that it remains with you forever.
One such moment happened as I savoured the evening from the open-air bar on the roof terrace of the Kalkan Regency Hotel. Below in the harbour and on the surrounding hillsides, pretty lights of many colours were blinking into life, a cool
