Some people say I am on another planet, and my tablets give me lots of wind   

Would anyone like  a recording of my wind?   :-&

If you were around at the right/wrong time, yes  :)

And today I read where Voyager 2, launched in 1977, has officially left the heliosphere and is just a mere 11 billion miles from Earth! The next step is to enter the Oort Cloud, which it is expected to enter in 300 years and exit it in about 30,000 years. I'm not marking my calendar to see either of these last two events, but I'll let you know if I change my mind. Those of you who have smart phones, might like knowing that you have 200,000 times more power in it than either of the Voyagers!

Yes the timings are quite mind boggling.

Voyager 2, launched in 1977, has just provided data as it crossed into inter-stellar space :o

Just over 2 years ago, it was NASA's InSight.  Now it's actual wind gusts recorded by Perseverance ...
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Yep, really awesome.  :) :) :)

But, maybe, the 'background noise' was actually their 'unshielded' electric appliances... and 'they just didn't realise...!'   ;)
