NASA Nearly Crashed Into a Mysterious Object Orbiting Saturn: A True Story From 1979

Back in 1979, NASA’s Pioneer 11 spacecraft became the first human-made object to visit the ringed world Saturn. Blazing a path for the future Voyager probes.

But as it was passing by, capturing never before seen images of the planet’s mysterious moons, it detected something enormous in front of it. An undiscovered moon!

Narrowly avoiding it, Pioneer 11 became known by some as the luckiest spacecraft ever launched.

This is the story of Pioneer 11’s incredible journey into the unknown and how NASA nearly crashed into an object in the outer solar system.
