   Voyager 2 found! Deep Space Network hears it chattering in space   
      
   Not all heroes wear capes - some are 50-year-old antennas   
      
   A signal from Voyager 2 has been detected by NASA's Deep Space Network   
   (DSN) over a week after communications with the distant probe were   
   lost, the US agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) on Tuesday.   
      
   The disco-era spacecraft was detected by Canberra Deep Space   
   Communication Complex's 70-metre dish, Deep Space Station 43 (DSS43),   
   after a long-shot search.   
      
   The five-storey tall dish is the sole facility capable of reaching   
   Voyager 2. It takes over 18 hours for a signal to travel from the   
   probe to the dish, covering a distance of over 19 billion kilometres.   
      
   "The Deep Space Network has picked up a carrier signal from [Voyager   
   2] during its regular scan of the sky. A bit like hearing the   
   spacecraft's 'heartbeat,' it confirms the spacecraft is still   
   broadcasting, which engineers expected," explained JPL.
