@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?

@Nead@social.vivaldi.net "A radio signal takes about 22 ½ hours to reach Voyager 1, which is over 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from Earth, and another 22 ½ hours for a signal to come back to Earth." This story from 2024 was particularly interesting. https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-voyager-1-resumes-sending-engineering-updates-to-earth/
