Welcome to another enlightening episode of the Astronomy Daily Podcast. In Series 2, Episode 29, our hosts Hallie and Tim take us on a cosmic journey, discussing intriguing topics from Voyager 2's interstellar communication to the innovative LOCSS program aiding Bangladeshi rice farmers. 1. **Voyager 2's Interstellar Communication**: Tim shares a captivating anecdote about Voyager 2's launch in the 1970s.
