The Incredible Journey of Voyager 1

Launched by NASA on September 5, 1977, Voyager 1 is the farthest human-made object from Earth, even surpassing the distance covered by Pioneer 10.

As of 2021, Voyager 1 is in 'Interstellar space', 14 billion miles away from our planet.

Journeying at a speed of over 17 kilometers per second, this intrepid spacecraft has been transmitting data back to Earth for over 40 years, providing invaluable insights into the outer Solar System and beyond.

From discovering 'The Great Dark Spot' on Neptune, which is a storm system similar to Jupiter's 'Great Red Spot', to its unique 'Pale Blue Dot' image of Earth taken from 6 billion kilometers away.

Voyager 1 has contributed significantly to our understanding of the Solar System.

Its power supply is expected to last until 2025, after which it will drift silently through space, truly becoming a 'Voyager'..
