Voyager 1 nearing 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
NASA's Voyager 1, now about 25.79 billion kilometres (16.03 billion miles) from Earth, is on track to reach a distance of one light-day in roughly 38 days and 18 hours. Its twin, Voyager 2, trails behind at about 21.58 billion kilometres (13.41 billion miles). Space enthusiasts are marking the milestone, which will be the first time a human-made object is a full light-day away, meaning its radio signals will take a full day to reach us.
Why now: People are following the approaching symbolic milestone of the farthest human-made object reaching one light-day from Earth.
