And Voyager 2 will take many more years to reach the same milestone - what a slacker! 😄👍
Physics & Astronomy Zone@zone_astronomy

Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object from Earth, is expected to reach a distance of about one light-day on November 15, 2026. A light-day is the distance that light travels in a single day—roughly 26 billion kilometers (about 16 billion miles). This means that by that time, any signal sent from Earth to Voyager 1, or from Voyager 1 back to Earth, will take a full 24 hours to travel one way. This incredible distance highlights just how far the spacecraft has journeyed since its launch in 1977, moving steadily away from our planet at a speed of over 60,000 kilometers per hour. Originally launched to study the outer planets, Voyager 1 completed historic flybys of Jupiter and Saturn, capturing groundbreaking images and data. After completing its primary mission, it continued traveling outward and eventually entered interstellar space, the region beyond the influence of the Sun’s solar wind. Even after decades, Voyager 1 is still sending valuable scientific data back to Earth, although its power is slowly decreasing over time. Reaching one light-day distance is not just a milestone of distance, but also a powerful reminder of human achievement and curiosity. It shows how far our technology has advanced and how we have extended our presence far beyond our home planet. Despite being so far away, Voyager 1 still carries the famous Golden Record, a message intended for any potential extraterrestrial life that might encounter it in the distant future. As it continues its silent journey through the vastness of space, Voyager 1 stands as a symbol of exploration, representing humanity’s desire to understand the universe beyond our Solar System. #Voyager1 #solarsystem #universe

Dear @Starbucks - thanks for not accepting cash (which is legal tender in the UK). Guess if I want a coffee and only have cash on me then you just want me to F* Off - is that right? 👍

Also have Starship bookmarks! Two are essentially prints of acrylic paintings I have done and the other is a digital art piece drawn on my iPad

I have 1 Starbase diorama left from this drop! 🚀 Only 6 total made of this design. These are made to order and take time, so I’ll be releasing future dioramas in small batches too to keep wait times reasonable. Each piece is handmade, signed, and numbered. 🖤

@sciam Interstellar cryo-sleep would require breakthroughs in cryobiology, nanotechnology, and AI-driven medical systems. Some Cryobiologists and Space Researchers estimate a 100–200-year horizon, assuming no fundamental biological limits are discovered.

The science-fiction film Project Hail Mary sees Ryan Gosling go to space in a state of suspended animation. But does the science suggest that’s possible? spklr.io/6012EHAmE

Morning, DPT people! A quick reminder that DPT is a place to share our OWN photography, rather than pictures made by AI or taken from other sites. And please, just one photo per day - we're getting busier, and multiple posts make more work for the admin team. Thank you! 🙏
