Voyager 1 Nears 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, 6 ho
NASA's Voyager 1, the most distant human-made object, is now about 25.8 billion kilometres (16.03 billion miles) from Earth and is projected to reach a distance of one light-day — the span light itself travels in a day — in roughly 36 days. Its twin, Voyager 2, trails behind at about 21.6 billion kilometres. Space enthusiasts are marking the milestone as a striking measure of how far the 1977 probes have travelled.
Why now: The spacecraft is about to cross the symbolic one light-day distance from Earth, a milestone space fans find remarkable.
