Here's why:

* Recording instruments: Space probes are equipped with a variety of scientific instruments to collect data about planets, stars, and other celestial objects. These instruments often record data like images, magnetic field measurements, atmospheric composition, and more.

* Moves through space: Space probes are launched into space to explore different parts of our solar system and beyond. They travel through the vacuum of space, using propulsion systems to reach their destinations.

Examples of space probes with recording instruments:

* Voyager 1 & 2: These probes have been traveling through interstellar space for decades, sending back valuable data about the outer solar system.

* Curiosity rover: This rover is exploring the surface of Mars, collecting data about the planet's geology and potential for past life.

* Hubble Space Telescope: Although technically a telescope, it is also a space probe that orbits Earth, taking stunning images and recording data about distant galaxies and other celestial objects.
