Voyager 1 nearing 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, 18 h
NASA's Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object, is now about 25.76 billion kilometers (16.01 billion miles) from Earth and is expected to reach a distance of one light-day in roughly 49 days. Its twin, Voyager 2, trails at about 21.55 billion kilometers. Space watchers are marking the milestone, as the probe's radio signals will then take a full 24 hours to reach us.
Why now: The spacecraft is approaching the symbolic milestone of being one full light-day away from Earth.
