Spacecraft that flew by and photographed the 4 gas giants in the 1970s?
These were two probes called voyager 1 and voyager 2. Voyager 1 visited Jupiter and Saturn, while voyager 2 visited all four gas giants; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The probes also flew close to moons of these planets and discovered more moons in addition to many other things. Voyager 1 is now the most distant man made object from earth. Both are still able to send signals back to earth.
