Voyager Will Reach One Full Light-Day Away From Earth
- Neuronaut 1y agothanks, title is updated.
- foxglacier 1y agoIt's already true because implied precision and comparing continuous measurements for equality and all that. It's both pedantic and meaningless to say it's true on (all of) Nov 13 2026 but not true today.
- tylervigen 1y agoI’m not sure your point is warranted given there is a year between today and November 2026. Surely we can be more precise than a year?
- foxglacier 1y agoToday, it's 0.98 light days away. That's what can be honestly called "one". Another year of travel time is pretty small compared to its entire journey.
- pklausler 1y agoPedantically, will this be one mean solar light-day, or one sidereal light-day?
