@stefan@stefanbohacek.online @voyagers@stefanbohacek.online I suspect Voyager may have already travelled that distance over a curved path. Maybe not yet, but close.

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online @voyagers@stefanbohacek.online Mind blowing. How long does it take for a faint signal from V1 to reach earth at this point?

If my calculations aren't wrong, the Voyager 1 is traveling at roughly 1/20000th of the speed of light. Which doesn't sound like much, but is approximately 17 kilometers per second

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online So cool. Every time I think about the Voyager probes, it blows my mind.
