Voyager 1, reaches 100 astronomical units from the sun on Tuesday, August 15 at 5:13 p.m. Eastern time (2:13 p.m. Pacific time). That means the spacecraft, which launched nearly three decades ago, will be 100 times more distant from the sun than Earth is.
But what is so amazing is that both Voyager spacecraft continue to operate and send back data! In depth story link
