NASA's Voyager 1, the most distant human-made object, is currently about 25.76 billion km (16.01 billion miles) from Earth and is expected to reach a distance of one light-day — the distance light travels in a full day — in roughly 48 days. Its twin, Voyager 2, trails behind at about 21.55 billion km (13.39 billion miles). Space enthusiasts are marking the milestone as the spacecraft continues its mission launched in 1977.
Why now: The spacecraft is approaching a symbolic milestone of being a full light-day away, prompting space fans to share countdown updates.
