Original: Voyager 1 is 25.84 billion km/16.06 billion miles away from Earth and will reach 1 light-day from Earth in 23 days, 6 ho
NASA's Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object, is now about 25.84 billion km (16.06 billion miles) from Earth and is expected to reach a distance of one light-day — the time light takes to travel between the probe and Earth — in roughly 23 days and 6 hours. Its twin, Voyager 2, sits about 21.64 billion km (13.44 billion miles) away. Space enthusiasts are tracking the milestone using NASA's solar system eyes tool.
Why now: The probe is about to hit the unprecedented milestone of being a full light-day away from Earth for the first time.
