Voyager program

The Voyager program is an American scientific program that employs two interstellar probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. They were launched in 1977 to take advantage of a favorable planetary alignment to explore the two gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and potentially also the ice giants, Uranus and Neptune - to fly near them while collecting data for transmission back to Earth. After Voyager 1 successfully completed its flyby of Saturn and its moon Titan, it was decided to send Voyager 2 on flybys of Uranus and Neptune.^[1]

After the planetary flybys were complete, decisions were made to keep the probes in operation to explore interstellar space and the outer regions of the solar system. On 25 August 2012, data from Voyager 1 indicated that it had entered interstellar space.^[2] On 5 November 2019, data from Voyager 2 indicated that it also had entered interstellar space.^[3] On 4 November 2019, scientists reported that on 5 November 2018, the Voyager 2 probe had officially reached the interstellar medium (ISM), a region of outer space beyond the influence of the solar wind, as did Voyager 1 in 2012.^[4]^[5]^[6] In August 2018, NASA confirmed, based on results by the New Horizons spacecraft, the existence of a "hydrogen wall" at the outer edges of the Solar System that was first detected in 1992 by the two Voyager spacecraft.^[7]^[8]^[9]

As of 2024, the Voyagers are still in operation beyond the outer boundary of the heliosphere in interstellar space. Voyager 1 is moving with a velocity of 61,198 kilometers per hour (38,027 mph), or 17 km/s, (10.5 miles/second) relative to the Sun, and is 24,475,900,000 kilometers (1.52086×10¹⁰ mi) from the Sun^[10] reaching a distance of 162 AU (24.2 billion km; 15.1 billion mi) from Earth as of May 25, 2024.^[11] As of 2024, Voyager 2 is moving with a velocity of 55,347 kilometers per hour (34,391 mph), or 15 km/s, relative to the Sun, and is 20,439,100,000 kilometers (1.27003×10¹⁰ mi) from the Sun^[12] reaching a distance of 136.627 AU (20.4 billion km; 12.7 billion mi) from Earth as of May 25, 2024.^[11]

The two Voyagers are the only human-made objects to date that have passed into interstellar space — a record they will hold until at least the 2040s — and Voyager 1 is the farthest human-made object from Earth.^[13]

VATICAN CITY: French President Emmanuel Macron, accused at home of straining France’s secular foundations by seeking to mend ties with the Catholic Church, had an unusually long and cordial meeting with Pope Francis on Tuesday.
They spoke for nearly an hour in the official papal library in the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace, about twice as long as Francis usually spends with heads of state or government.
A Vatican statement said the two discussed “protection of the environment, migration, and multilateral commitment to conflict prevention and resolution, especially in relation to disarmament.”
They also spoke about prospects for resolving conflicts in the Middle East and Africa and the future of Europe, it said.
At the end of the private part of the audience, Macron gave Francis a rare copy of Goerges Bernanos 1936 book “Diary of a Country Priest.”
“I’ve read this book many times and it has done me good. It is a book that I have always loved very much,” the pope told Macron, 40, who was accompanied in the public parts of the meeting by his wife Brigitte, 65.
Francis gave Macron a medallion depicting Martin of Tours, a 4th century saint who is depicted cutting his cloak in half to give it to a beggar in winter.
“This means the vocation of those who govern is to help the poor. We are all poor,” Francis told Macron as he was giving him the medallion.
As Macron left the library, he and Francis exchanged a two-cheek kiss, another very usually gesture between a pope and a visiting head of state.
The Vatican was expected to issue a statement later on the themes discussed during the private talks.
Two months ago, Macron called for stronger ties between the state and the Catholic Church, a move critics said blurred a line that has kept French government free of religious intervention for generations.
The issue is particularly sensitive in historically Catholic France, where matters of faith and state were separated by law in 1905 and which is now home to Europe’s largest Muslim and Jewish communities.
France’s guiding principles also hold that religious observance is a private matter, for all faiths.
Macron was raised in a non-religious family and was baptized a Roman Catholic at his own request when he was 12.
On Tuesday afternoon Macron was due to be installed as the “First and Only Honorary Canon” of the Rome Basilica of St. John’s in Lateran, which is the pope’s cathedral in his capacity as bishop of Rome.
Under a tradition that began in the 15th century when France was a monarchy, French leaders are automatically given the title.

Pope Francis meets French President Macron

At a private audience in the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace on Tuesday, Pope Francis and France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, exchange gifts and discuss the environment, migration, and disarmament.

By Devin Watkins

Pope Francis met on Tuesday with French President Emmanuel Macron, who later inherited the title of honorary canon of the Lateran Basilica. Macron was accompanied at the papal audience by his wife, Brigitte.

The Pope and the French president discussed protection of the environment, migration, and conflict prevention, according to a communique from the Holy See Press Office.

Their comments on global issues included the need for “multilateral commitment to conflict prevention and resolution, especially in relation to disarmament.”

Report by Devin Watkins

Each one shared their views on conflicts in the Middle East and Africa, and reflected on the “prospects of the European project.”

Pope Francis and President Macron talked about how religions contribute to “the common good” of France, especially the Catholic Church’s commitment to bettering society.

Exchange of gifts

The two men exchanged gifts, with Pope Francis giving Macron, who was baptized a Catholic at the age of 12, a medallion of St. Martin of Tours, depicted cutting his cloak in half to give it to a beggar in winter.

President Macron gave the Pope a rare copy of Georges Bernanos’ 1936 book “Diary of a Country Priest”.

Afterwards, President Macron met with Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin and Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, Secretary for Relations with States.

Honorary Canon of Lateran Basilica

Later in the afternoon, Emmanuel Macron received the title “First and Only Honorary Canon” of the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the Cathedral of Rome.

French leaders automatically inherit the title of “Honorary Canon” under a tradition that dates back to the 15th century when France was a monarchy. Cardinal-elect Angelo De Donatis presided over the ceremony and conferred the title on President Macron.

Town Theater in 1955 at night.

"Continuing past the Studebaker lot, he [Marty] stopped in front of the Town Theater, a marvelously typical piece of art deco from the 1930s. A basic tan-colored tower rose above its green marquee and red tile entrance, which was lined with display shots of its current attractions, The Atomic Kid, starring Mickey Rooney and Robert Strauss."

—From Back to the Future by George Gipe (page 85)

"Well, would you look at that! The old Town Theater!"

—Emmett Brown

The Town Theater was a movie theater in Hill Valley in 1931-1955.

History

The Town Theater in 1931

Note: The following section is considered non-canon or is disputed in canonicity.

On the evening of August 25, 1931, Arthur McFly came to watch a showing of Frankenstein. A young Emmett Brown later went to the theater to watch the same movie, which further inspired him in his career in science (though a change in his timeline prevented him from going to the theater).

The movie was still playing in the theater as of October 12, 1931 and was viewed three times by a time traveling Citizen Brown.

In the 1971G timeline, it was ordered by Edna Strickland that the theater be torn down as she felt movies corrupted the younger generation.

Non-canon or disputable information ends here.

On both November 5 and November 12, 1955, the Town's featured attraction was the 1954 film, The Atomic Kid, starring Mickey Rooney. By November, the film had been out for almost a year.

By 1985, the downtown theater had stopped showing movies and had become the gathering place for the Assembly of Christ church in Hill Valley. While the Town Theater had become a house of worship, its rival, the Essex Theater, had become an X-rated movie house by 1985.

On November 12, 1955, Marty McFly drove the DeLorean time machine at 88 miles per hour toward the entrance of the Town Theater, hoping to make connection with a lightning-charged wire and to go back to the future, rather than colliding with the theater. Although it was a Saturday night, the theater had apparently closed for the night by 10:04 that evening. The collision with the building would not happen until nearly thirty years later, when Marty skipped across the intervening decades.

On October 26, 1985, at 1:23 in the morning, Marty McFly crashed into the front of the Town Theater at the speed of almost 88 miles per hour, knocking down the entrance and part of the front wall. Miraculously, Marty was uninjured in his collision with the Assembly of Christ building, and even the DeLorean was unscathed.

In Back to the Future Doc states he could go back to 0000 to witness the birth of Christ. Thus this film is clearly about time travel.
