The farthest human-made object is now so distant that even light takes nearly 24 hours to reach it; exactly 49 years after NASA launched Voyager 1 to explore Jupiter and Saturn, the spacecraft is still in interstellar space and sending data back to Earth

The Voyager 1 probe, launched in 1977, is now over 15.9 billion miles away. This spacecraft has ventured into interstellar space, sending valuable scientific data back to Earth. Its mission, initially for outer planets, extended to exploring beyond the Sun's influence. NASA conserves power by shutting down systems to prolong its operational life. The probe also carries the Voyager Golden Record, a message for potential extraterrestrial encounters.
