[EN] Sounds from outer space - the Voyager Programme - with Bill Kurth
English Edition: My guest Bill Kurth and I will go on a space exploration of a special kind: the Voyager probes. Launched in 1977 just a few weeks apart they have now reached interstellar space. Some of the data they send back to Earth are audio - which can tell us a lot about the outer planets like Jupiter or indeed interstellar space, where both Voyagers are now.
