LOS ANGELES — The unstoppable Voyager 1 spacecraft has sailed into a new realm of the solar system that scientists did not know existed.
Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, have been speeding away from the sun toward interstellar space, or the space between stars.

"Though the cameras aboard the nuclear-powered Voyagers have long been turned off, the probes have enough power to operate the other instruments until around 2020."
Yes, but are we still receiving data from the instruments, by radio?
Yup! For a pretty fun read, go check out Voyager 2's twitter feed. I kid you not. It's actually really great fun. https://twitter.com/NASAVoyager2
Note that for most answers you'll have to wait 28+ hours for the light to round-trip to the space probe and back. ;) So nerdy!
