The celestial coordinates, magnitude, distances and speed are updated in real time and are computed using high quality data sets provided by the JPL Horizons ephemeris service see acknowledgements for details. The sky map shown below represents a rectangular portion of the sky 60x40 arcminutes wide. By comparison the diameter of the full Moon is about 30 arcmins, so the full horizontal extent of the map is approximately 2 full Moons wide. Depending on the device you are using, the map can be dragged horizondally or vertically using the mouse or touchscreen.
The deep sky image in the background is provided by the Digitized Sky Survey acknowledgements. The five operating science instruments, which were turned off by the spacecraft's fault protection routine, are back on and returning normal science data.
Voyager 2 Illuminates Boundary of Interstellar Space Five new research papers detail Voyager 2's observations since it exited the heliosphere, or the protective bubble of particles and magnetic fields created by our Sun. Voyager 1 Distance from Earth This is a real-time indicator of Voyager 1's distance from Earth in astronomical units AU and either miles mi or kilometers km.
Note: Because Earth moves around the sun faster than Voyager 1 is speeding away from the inner solar system, the distance between Earth and the spacecraft actually decreases at certain times of year. Voyager 1 Distance from Sun This is a real-time indicator of Voyager 1's straight-line distance from the sun in astronomical units AU and either miles mi or kilometers km.
Voyager 1 One-Way Light Time This tells how long it would take a radio signal transmitted right now, traveling at the speed of light, to get either from Earth to Voyager 1 or from Voyager 1 to Earth. The instrument detects charged particles that dominate inside the bubble our sun blows around itself green and charged particles that dominate outside our solar bubble orange.
Data from this instrument suggested that Voyager 1 entered interstellar space on Aug. Voyager 2 Distance from the Earth This is a real-time indicator of Voyager 2's distance from Earth in astronomical units AU and either miles mi or kilometers km. Note: Because Earth moves around the sun faster than Voyager 2 is speeding away from the inner solar system, the distance between Earth and the spacecraft actually decreases at certain times of year.
