NASA's Voyager 1, humanity's farthest spacecraft, is currently about 25.77 billion kilometers (16.01 billion miles) from Earth and is on track to reach a distance of one light-day within roughly 45 days. Its twin Voyager 2 trails at about 21.56 billion kilometers (13.4 billion miles). Space enthusiasts are tracking the milestone, which would mark the first time a human-made object is a full light-day away from our planet.
Why now: The spacecraft is approaching the unprecedented milestone of being one light-day from Earth for the first time.
