NASA to silence Voyager's social media accounts
NASA is shutting down many of its social media accounts, including those dedicated to the Voyager mission and the Mars Curiosity and Perseverance rovers.
It announced that posts would be coming to an end this week, with affected accounts, such as Voyager, pinning text along the lines of “Important Update: As part of @NASA’s effort to streamline communications, this account will be archived in the coming weeks” to the top of their feeds.
To be clear, the Voyager mission itself is not affected, just the mission’s social media presence.
