Voyager 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As of May 22, 2008, Voyager 1 was at a distance of 106.4 AU (approximately 15.92 terameters or 0.0017 light years) from the Sun, which makes it the most distant human-made object from Earth.[8] At this distance, it is more distant from the Sun than any known natural solar system object, including Eris and 90377 Sedna, but excluding long-period comets. Though Sedna has an orbit that takes it 975 AU away from the Sun at aphelion, as of 2006 it is less than 90 AU away from the Sun and approaching its perihelion at 76 AU. [9][10]
