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 36 days, 18 h
NASA's Voyager 1, now about 25.8 billion kilometres (16.03 billion miles) from Earth, is on track to reach a distance of one light-day — the distance light travels in a full day — in roughly 36 days and 18 hours. Its twin Voyager 2 sits farther back at about 21.6 billion kilometres. Space watchers are marking the milestone as the veteran 1977 probe keeps pushing deeper into interstellar space.
Why now: People are following the approaching symbolic milestone of Voyager 1 becoming a full light-day away from Earth.
