From AP News: Earlier in the week it was revealed that scientists had been out of touch with the 46-year-old Voyager 2 after its antenna had accidentally been directed to point 2 degrees away from Earth by NASA flight controllers; they had thought they'd probably have to wait until Oct. 15, when an automatic reset would cause the craft to re-orient itself properly, but in the meanwhile they tried sending a command to the craft that would turn the antenna correctly, but which they didn't think would get through; but it did! So contact has been re-established with the space probe in its journey outside of our Solar System.
