How far, from the Earth

5.27 AU. To cross it:

  • Light44 minutes
  • Voyager 1's speed17.8 months
  • Driving at 100 km/h899 years

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 Jupiter: worst miss 2,300 km on the dates it was checked against (median 160 km); between those dates as much as about 7,000 km. Dates after the data was fetched are Horizons' predictions, which it revises as a mission flies.
