NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 missions are the longest-running missions in the history of the iconic space agency. They have logged 45 years in space, bringing us close-up images of Uranus and Neptune.
Voyager 1 was responsible for the 'pale blue dot' image taken at the suggestion of famous astrophysicist and science popularizer Carl Sagan. That image, and Sagan's words (in the video below), brilliantly encapsulate the legacy of the Voyager missions.
Perk up your late summer garden with Crocosmia
When August rolls around, does your garden start to look like "Cinderella after the ball?" This time of year, many gardens are starting to need something to perk them up since most summer flowers have passed their prime.
