Voyager 1 Approaches 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 45 days, 18 h
Voyager 1, NASA's most distant spacecraft, is now 25.77 billion km (16.01 billion miles) from Earth and is projected to reach a distance of one light-day — the distance light travels in a full day — in roughly 45 days. Its twin, Voyager 2, trails at 21.56 billion km (13.40 billion miles). Space enthusiasts are marking the milestone as a symbolic moment for humanity's farthest-flung exploration mission.
Why now: The spacecraft is days away from an unprecedented one-light-day distance milestone, a striking marker of how far it has traveled.
