Voyager 2 shuts down science experiment as power stores dwindle.

From CNN: "Mission engineers sent a command to shutter the Voyager 2’s Plasma Science, or PLS, experiment — which was used to observe solar winds — on September 26 using the Deep Space Network, a series of massive radio antennae that can beam information billions of miles through space. It took 19 hours for the message to reach Voyager 2, and a return signal was received 19 hours later."

At some point, in the very distant future, if they're not unlucky enough to smash against something at 61000 km/h, it's well possible that Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 could become the oldest thing humans ever created, possibly outlasting even humans themselves.
