Voyager 1 approaching one light-day from Earth
Original: Voyager 1 is 25.76 billion km/16.01 billion miles away from Earth and will reach 1 light-day from Earth in 49 days, 6 ho
NASA's Voyager 1, the most distant human-made object, is now 25.76 billion km (16.01 billion miles) from Earth and is on course to be a full light-day away in about 49 days, meaning a radio signal will take 24 hours to reach it. Its twin Voyager 2 sits at 21.55 billion km. Space enthusiasts are marking the milestone as a striking reminder of the scale of interstellar space.
Why now: The probe is about to reach the symbolic milestone of being one full light-day from Earth for the first time.
