Voyager 1 nearing one light-day from Earth
Original: Voyager 1 is 25.82 billion km/16.05 billion miles away from Earth and will reach 1 light-day from Earth in 29 days, 6 ho
NASA's Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object, is now 25.82 billion km (16.05 billion miles) from Earth and is expected to reach a distance of one light-day — the time light takes to travel between the spacecraft and Earth — in about 29 days. Its twin, Voyager 2, is at 21.62 billion km (13.43 billion miles). Space enthusiasts are marking the milestone as a symbolic moment in the history of space exploration.
Why now: The spacecraft is about to cross the unprecedented one light-day distance mark within a month.
