Context
About 25.7 billion km as of October 2026, and still sending data back. It was launched in 1977, before the first personal computers.
On 18 November 2026 it passes one full light-day from Earth: a radio signal from the probe will take 24 hours to arrive. It is the most distant object humans have made.
