While many space probes near the Sun (or not too far away, like satellites near the Earth) are solar powered, the designers of the Voyager probes knew that the spacecraft would be going out from the solar system to distances where the Sun is merely a bright star. So the Voyager probes use a nuclear thermal power source.

How many satellites probes have been to neptune?
The Voyager I and the Voyager II are the only space probes to visit Neptune. They landed in the 1980s.
Have any space probes have been to Uranus?
i think that the first probe was Voyager II in 1977
What was the first planet discovered by the Voyager space probe?
Voyager did not discover any new planets. By the time Voyager was launched we already knew of all the planets in our solar system that we know of today. There were also two Voyager probes, not one. The first planet that either probe studied was Jupiter, which we had known for millennia. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter in March 1979 while Voyager 2 flew by in July of the same year.
What is visible light and what portion can humans detect?
Visible light waves are the electromagnetic waves which are detected by the human eye. They make up only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. So, visible light is any light in which the human eye can detect.
Has any probes been sent to Europa?
If landing probes are mentioned, no not yet.
When did the voyager land on Saturn?
The Voyager probes were deep space probes, sent to scout out the outer planets and deep space, so they never really "landed" on any of the planets although voyager I was sent first voyager II overtook it and encountered Saturn on august 1981.

Have any probes studied Jupiter?
YesSpace probesHave studiedJupiter.Some of themAre:Pioneer 10,pioneer 11,Voyager 1,Voyager 2,Galileo,CassiniandNew Horizons.
What space probes have been sent to Uranus?
I don't think any have, except for "Voyager 2" which flew past in 1986.

Were there any other countries involved in the NASA Voyager mission?
No - NASA paid for the construction and launches of both Voyager probes, and continues to fund the missions as they make their way out of the solar system into interstellar space.
What's the color of visible light?
Visible light includes any color that the eye can see.
Are any of the NASA probes launched for flybys of the planets still sending signals back to earth?
Yes, many of them are. In fact, both of the Voyager probes are still transmitting data, even from beyond Neptune and past the "heliopause", the boundary between the solar system and interstallar space.

If one of the waves represents infrared light and one wave represents visible light which wave represents visible light?
Without any other information, the one with a shorter wavelength/higher frequency will be visible light.
Where does visible electromagnetic energy come from?
Any light source.
What does VISIBLE FIXTURES IN SKIES mean?
The VISIBLE FIXTURES IN SKIES mean luminous that emit any light.
