We're less than 4 weeks away from Voyager 1 reaching a distance of one light day from Earth

I've always been super interested in things space related so this is a pretty cool event coming up. Nov 18, 2026 early in the morning, Voyager 1 will reach the distance of one full light day from Earth. Took almost 50 yrs. I was 13 when it launched.

Isn't that insane!!!
To reach the nearest galaxy to ours, at its present speed, will take another 44 billion years.

Turn the Lights out when you get there.
