Voyager 1 nearing one light-day from Earth
Original: Voyager 1 is 25.80 billion km/16.03 billion miles away from Earth and will reach 1 light-day from Earth in 38 days, 6 ho
Voyager 1, NASA's farthest human-made spacecraft, is now 25.80 billion km (16.03 billion miles) from Earth and is projected to reach a distance of one light-day in roughly 38 days. Its twin, Voyager 2, sits at 21.59 billion km (13.41 billion miles). Space enthusiasts are marking the approach of the milestone, when a radio signal from the probe will take a full day to reach home.
Why now: The spacecraft is about to cross the symbolic threshold of one light-day from Earth for the first time.
