Voyager 1 to cross one light-day from Earth in about 43 days
Original: Voyager 1 is 25.78 billion km/16.02 billion miles away from Earth and will reach 1 light-day from Earth in 43 days, 18 h
NASA's Voyager 1 probe is now 25.78 billion kilometres (16.02 billion miles) from Earth and is set to reach a distance of one light-day — the distance light travels in a full day — in roughly 43 days and 18 hours. Its twin, Voyager 2, trails behind at 21.57 billion kilometres. Space watchers are marking the milestone as the farthest human-made object edges further into interstellar space.
Why now: The spacecraft is approaching the symbolic milestone of being one full light-day away from Earth.
