How far, from the Earth

401,000 km. To cross it:

  • Light1.34 seconds
  • Voyager 1's speed6 hours 37 minutes
  • Driving at 100 km/h5.5 months

Voyager 1 at the speed it moved outward over the year to 2026-10-25 (JPL Horizons). Driving: nonstop, never refuelling.

Facts

  • JPL Horizons trajectory round the Moon: worst miss 277 km on the dates it was checked against (median 9 km); between those dates as much as about 831 km. Dates after the data was fetched are Horizons' predictions, which it revises as a mission flies.
