Dodson Nov 10, 2026 RELEASE M26-086 NASA Headquarters Launched nearly 50 years ago in 1977, NASA’s Voyager 1 on Wednesday. 18 will have traveled one light-day from Earth, which is more than 16 billion miles (25.9 billion kilometers).
Voyager 1 is the most distant human-made object, and any light from Earth would take 24 hours to reach the spacecraft. 17, NASA invites the world to participate in “Shine Bright for Voyager’s Light-Day” by creating a symbolic wave of golden light encircling the planet after sunset.
NASA has created a website that enables smart phones and tablets to flash “VGR”, Voyager’s call sign, in morse code. PST), NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California will host a moderated discussion with mission members and NASA leadership about the status of Voyager 1 and 2, the unique science the twin probes continue to gather in interstellar space, and the challenges of keeping the spacecraft operating for so long over such vast distances.
In addition, there also will be a preview of the upcoming NASA+ Voyager documentary, planned for release in 2027 for the mission’s 50th anniversary. The event will take place in NASA JPL’s von Kármán Auditorium, where JPL hosted Voyager briefings during the spacecraft’s grand tour of the outer planets.
media interested in attending the event in person must RSVP by Monday. To be considered for onsite credentials, foreign national media must RSVP no later than Thursday.
