It's good to know these little probes will be roaming the stars even if humans manage to go extinct. Either that or we will catch up to them someday and put them in a museum.

The Voyager space probes have been in space for about 41 years. Here's information about their present location in interstellar space.

It's too bad the Voyagers as they head off into interstellar space can't take another Solar System "Family Portrait", including that of Earth in the famous "Pale Blue Dot" image Voyager 1 captured back in 1990. The camera systems of both spacecraft were turned off shortly after this to conserve power. The probes are now billions of miles further out and it's doubtful none of the planets save for Jupiter or Saturn and of course our Sun would be resolved. Perhaps NASA could command the New Horizons spacecraft which flew by Pluto in 2015 and is also on a path out of the Solar System to take a new portrait at some point while the vehicle is still functional.
