[QUOTE="AlexB23, post: 77651681, member: 450900"] Yep, 22.5 hours is 0.94 days. I made a calculation that the Voyager 1 will reach a distance of 1 light day from Earth in early 2027, assuming a near constant speed. Alright, math: [LIST=1] [*]299792 km/s * 86400 s - 24.4 billion km = 1.5 billion km [*](1.5 billion km)/(60,900 km/h) = ~25,000 hours [*]25,000 hours/(24 h/day * 365.25 days/yr) = ~2.8 years [*]2.8 years from April 24, 2024 = February 2027 ([URL="https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2.8+years+from+April+24%2C+2024"]2.8 years from April 24, 2024 - Wolfram|Alpha[/URL]) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
