Voyager 1 Sails Past 100 AU- Planetary News | The Planetary Society

Last week, the Voyager 1 space probe passed the 100 AU mark on it’s journey towards interstellar space. (that’s about 9.3 billion miles from the Sun) It’s absolutely amazing that this spacecraft has lasted as long as it has. If you have any interest in space science, I would recommend reading this article. It contains a great deal of background information on the probe, it’s mission, and what we have learned to date. More information is available on the Voyager mission homepage.
