Humanity has left the Solar System.
According to a news release, the Voyager 1 spacecraft appears to have travelled beyond the influence of the Sun.
After 35 years it has become the first manmade object to leave the Solar System and enter inter-stellar space.
The Voyager 1 probe was initially intended just to explore the planets of our solar system - but it never stopped.
The remarkably durable craft has now travelled 11 billion miles on a course for the star AC +793888 - which it will never reach.

Below are some of its most iconic images.
