What if We Turned On Voyager’s Camera Today?
15.3 billion miles: That is the almost unbelievable distance that Voyager 1 has put between itself and the Sun since its launch in 1977! No other man-made object has ever ventured so far into the depths of space – and although the old probe is known to have even passed the boundaries of our home system, it continues its journey undeterred!
But since even the greatest success story in space travel must eventually come to an end, a fundamental question arises: How long can Voyager 1 continue flying before it finally runs out of juice or we lose contact with it? And then, of course, there is the world-famous 1990 image that shows our Earth as a tiny blue dot from a distance of 6 billion kilometers: But what would we actually see if we were to turn on Voyager’s camera today?
