NASA's Voyager 1, now about 25.85 billion km (16.06 billion miles) from Earth, is roughly 22 days away from reaching a distance of one light-day — the time light takes a full day to travel. Its twin Voyager 2 sits about 21.64 billion km (13.45 billion miles) away. Space enthusiasts are marking the milestone as the probe continues its 47-year journey into interstellar space.
Why now: The probe is about to cross a symbolic one-light-day distance from Earth for the first time, a milestone space fans are tracking in real time.
