Perhaps slightly off-topic, but does anyone know if the Voyagers are still transmitting images of any kind at all?
Not that there's much to photograph in their current travels, but I believe there were imagining systems beyond the normal, visible light cameras we humans are so fond of.
Thanks, all.

Re: Voyager APOD
When looking at the Voyager website, it seems the spacecrafts are still collecting data, counting particles and such, the kind one can plot in a graph, not taking pictures. The scan platforms (which have the cameras) have been powered down, but the instruments for magnetic field, low energy charged particles, cosmic rays and plasma still operate.
