        Hey Batman,

        Yes! The Voyager 1 space craft has gone past Pluto and out of our solar system all together! It was launched in 1977 so has taken quite a while to get there ?

        On the NASA website, you can track its progress:

        You can see that the little counter is ticking over to show how far it is away from the Earth ? and the Sun ☀
