Voyager 15h ago
After 48 years, 7 months, 21 days, 23 hours, and 35 minutes, Voyager 1 is approximately 25.9 billion km (16.1 billion miles) from the Earth.

That's 173.417 au or, at the speed of light, 24h 02m 15s.

From the Sun, Voyager 1 is approximately 25.5 billion km (15.8 billion miles or 170.462 au.)

Velocity relative to the Earth is about 39 km/sec (~87,916 mph); to the Sun about 16 km/sec (~37,782 mph.)

Voyager 1 has no thoughts today.

raw numbers:
earth distance: 25,942,827,386 km | 16,120,125,525 miles
earth velocity: 39.30234 km/s | 24.42134 mile/sec | 87916.84 mph

sun distance: 25,500,737,499 km | 15,845,423,606 miles
sun velocity: 16.89038 km/s | 10.49519 mile/sec | 37782.70 mph

This thing keeps impressing me even more each time I see an update!

Currently it takes 23 and a half hours for a signal from Earth to reach #Voyager1!

It takes 47 hours for #Nasa to get a reply!

Yet, they maintain control! They can still read the equipment on board!

That thing was yeeted into #Space all the way back in 1977 while I was still shitting my diapers in black and white! We both turn fifty next year!

If it can keep on going, then so can you and I!

The Little Probe That Could: Why #Voyager1 Matters, and Why #NASA Just Switched Part of It Off
#Spacecraft runs on a radioisotope thermoelectric generator — converts heat from plutonium into electricity. It has no solar panels, no batteries. Just the slow, steady release of nuclear warmth, diminishing 4W/yr. After 5 decades, thats become critical.
Voyager 1 now carries two operational #science instruments: one listens for plasma waves, and one measures magnetic fields.
