There is this thing called radio. Radio waves move at the speed of light in a vacuum. Voyager had it's course planned out, it's not like they just threw it up there and told it to go somewhere. They know the trajectory and speed, so it can be predicted where it is.

It means that the times it's been said it left the solar system by scientists. They said this last time, but said that technically it's still in some sort of hemisphere gravity bubble or some stuff idk. But now apparently it finally left the edge of our solar system.
