Voyager 1 is almost one light-day from Earth | Popular Science
The intrepid spacecraft will cross a major distance milestone in November 2026.
www.popsci.comVoyager 1 is expected to be about one light-day away from Earth in 2026, roughly around November 2026, when light would take 24 hours to reach it from Earth. This milestone marks the first time a spacecraft will be at that distance, given current projections from NASA and science outlets. NASA notes a light-day corresponds to about 16.1 billion miles (roughly 25.9 billion kilometers) from Earth. If you’d like, I can pull the latest confirmed dates from NASA or major science outlets and cite them.
