Radio signal from Nasa's Voyager 1 as it travels outside our solar system is seen from Earth | Mail Online: "This incredible photo shows radio signals glowing blue from the spacecraft Voyager 1 nearly 12 billion miles away.

Outer space: The Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a network of radio telescopes operated by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, spotted the signal of NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft from 11.5 billion miles away

Scientists can't actually see the spacecraft but they can detect its radio light. They used the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) a network of powerful radio telescopes to pick up the signal which looks like a blue speck."
