If you're into this sort of thing (and who isn't?!), check out The Interstellar Age, by Jim Bell.
I read it a few months ago, and it's a great read about the Voyager missions (which are still going!).

I honestly expected it to be bluish-gray for some reason.
Looks like a nice place for a hike, down the line when our grandkids are rocket-setting around the solar system.
