Voyager 1 !
Right now, more than 24 billion kilometers from Earth, a tiny spacecraft is drifting through the darkness—Voyager 1, the most distant object we've ever sent into space.
Launched in 1977, it's been traveling for nearly half a century, carrying with it a golden record filled with Earth’s sights, sounds, and greetings just in case it meets intelligent life.
No spacecraft has ever gone farther. No signal takes longer to reach us—over 22 hours just for a one-way message. Yet it still speaks to us.
Voyager 1 is a silent witness to the vast unknown… a lonely ambassador of humanity, moving deeper into the stars.
Something humans built is out there forever exploring...
