NASA Invites Media, Public to Join Voyager 1 One-Light Day Activities

On November 18th, NASA's Voyager 1 mission will mark a significant milestone having travelled one light-day from Earth. This journey represents over 16 billion miles or 25.9 billion kilometers in distance. Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 currently holds the distinction of being the farthest human-made object from our planet. A light signal sent from Earth will require approximately 24 hours to arrive at the spacecraft due to the vast distances involved. NASA plans to host media and public events during this historic occasion, offering an opportunity to observe this remarkable achievement.
