Voyager 1 to reach one light-day from Earth
Original: Voyager 1 is 25.79 billion km/16.03 billion miles away from Earth and will reach 1 light-day from Earth in 38 days, 18 h
Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object, is now about 25.79 billion kilometres (16.03 billion miles) from Earth and will reach a distance of one light-day — the distance light travels in a day — in roughly 38 days. Its twin Voyager 2 is about 21.58 billion kilometres away. Space enthusiasts are marking the milestone, which highlights just how far the 1977 probes have travelled.
Why now: Voyager 1 is approaching a symbolic milestone — being a full light-day away — within weeks.
