Voyager 1 to reach one light-day from Earth within weeks
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, 6 ho
Voyager 1, humanity's most distant spacecraft, is now 25.78 billion kilometres from Earth and is projected to reach one light-day away in about 43 days. Its twin Voyager 2 sits at 21.57 billion kilometres. Space watchers are marking the milestone as the probe edges into unprecedented distance, nearly 50 years after launch.
Why now: A rare milestone is approaching in space exploration history as the farthest human-made object nears a full light-day of distance from Earth.
