Voyager 1 to reach one light-day from Earth within weeks
Original: Voyager 1 is 25.76 billion km/16.01 billion miles away from Earth and will reach 1 light-day from Earth in 48 days, 18 h
Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object from Earth, is now about 25.76 billion kilometers (16.01 billion miles) away, and trackers show it will be one light-day from Earth in roughly 48 days. Its twin, Voyager 2, sits at about 21.55 billion kilometers. Space watchers are marking the milestone, which would be the first time a spacecraft is a full light-day from our planet.
Why now: Voyager 1 is approaching an unprecedented milestone of being a full light-day from Earth
