Communications with Voyager 2 have paused while its antenna is pointed a mere 2-degrees away from Earth. The team expects it to remain on its trajectory with a plan for the spacecraft to reset its orientation around Oct 15th, enabling communication to resume.

must be weird to know that one day, somehow, someone is going to be the last person to successfully send a message to Voyager and they'll end up as a footnote in Wikipedia: "communicating with the DSN right up until engineer X inadvertently ejected the antenna during what was meant to be routine observations"
