Voyager 2 is over 50,000 average Earth/Moon distances away, Voyager 1 is coming up on 63,000.
I don't know if that makes it any easier to grasp, but I have a hard enough time relating to Pluto's distance, let alone the Voyagers.
- fuzzythinker 3y ago50k Earth-moon distance may be easier to grasp for some. For me, I'm not sure how to understand the earth/moon distance enough to make 50k earth-moon a more meaningful measurement. Pluto is in the Kuiper belt, which for many, signifies the physical bodied edge of our solar system. So for me, scaling that to 2.5 to know where the heliosphere is and 3.3 & 4 to where the Voyagers are is more understandable.
