NASA's Voyager 1, the most distant human-made object, is now 25.77 billion kilometres (16.01 billion miles) from Earth, with a signal taking nearly a full day to travel home. Space enthusiasts note the probe will reach one light-day from Earth in about 46 days, a symbolic milestone. Voyager 2 trails at 21.56 billion kilometres.
