NASA's Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object, is currently about 25.77 billion km (16.01 billion miles) from Earth and is on course to cross the one light-day distance mark in roughly 46 days. Its twin Voyager 2 sits about 21.56 billion km (13.40 billion miles) away. Space enthusiasts are marking the upcoming milestone for the nearly 50-year-old probe, which continues to transmit data from interstellar space.
Why now: Voyager 1 is approaching a symbolic milestone of being a full light-day away, prompting renewed attention to the veteran spacecraft.
