Voyager 1 Set to Reach One Light-Day From Earth
Original: Voyager 1 is 25.86 billion km/16.07 billion miles away from Earth and will reach 1 light-day from Earth in 15 days, 17 h
NASA's Voyager 1, now about 25.86 billion kilometers (16.07 billion miles) from Earth, is expected to reach a distance of one light-day from our planet in roughly 15 days. Its twin, Voyager 2, sits at about 21.66 billion kilometers. The milestone highlights just how far the 1970s-era probes have traveled, and space enthusiasts are tracking the countdown as the spacecraft marks a symbolic distance marker.
Why now: The spacecraft is approaching the symbolic milestone of being one full light-day away from Earth within weeks.
