Voyager 1 Nears One Light-Day Distance From Earth
Original: Voyager 1 is 25.84 billion km/16.05 billion miles away from Earth and will reach 1 light-day from Earth in 24 days, 18 h
NASA's Voyager 1, now 25.84 billion kilometres (16.05 billion miles) from Earth, will reach the one light-day mark in about 24 days and 18 hours, meaning a radio signal will then take a full day to travel each way. Voyager 2, its twin, sits at 21.63 billion kilometres. Space watchers are marking the milestone as the farthest human-made object ever continues its journey into interstellar space.
Why now: Voyager 1 is approaching the symbolic milestone of being a full light-day away, a first for any human-made object.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 15 snapshots from 4 d ago to 3 d ago.
