Voyager 1 is only 11 minutes shy of a full “light-day” away from Earth!

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca 11 *light-minutes*. Not 11 minutes from now… 🤓

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca It kind of brings the scale of the universe into focus when you realize that this little spaceship has been traveling for 49 years and is only now approaching one light-day of distance from us. By comparison, our nearest neighboring star (Proxima Centauri) is 4.25 light years away. 🤯
