Voyager 1 nearing one light-day from Earth
Original: Voyager 1 is 25.77 billion km/16.01 billion miles away from Earth and will reach 1 light-day from Earth in 46 days, 18 h
NASA's Voyager 1 probe, launched in 1977, is now about 25.77 billion kilometres (16.01 billion miles) from Earth. Trackers note it will reach a distance of one light-day from Earth in roughly 46 days, a milestone for the farthest human-made object. Its twin, Voyager 2, trails behind at about 21.56 billion kilometres. Space enthusiasts are marking the approaching landmark for the decades-old mission.
Why now: The spacecraft is approaching the notable milestone of being one full light-day away from Earth.
