How far, from the Earth

1.53 million km. To cross it:

  • Light5.12 seconds
  • Voyager 1's speed1.05 days
  • Driving at 100 km/h21 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 Earth: worst miss 74 km on the dates it was checked against (median 45 km); between those dates as much as about 221 km. Dates after the data was fetched are Horizons' predictions, which it revises as a mission flies.
