Voyager 1 is about to reach one light day from Earth.
By 15 November 2026, after nearly 50 years in space, it will be about 25.9 billion km away, meaning a radio signal from Earth will take a full 24 hours to reach it.

15-year montage of Saturn slowly 'opening' and 'closing' its rings.
Saturn’s rings aren’t moving. We are. Saturn is tilted like Earth, and the rings lie in its equator, so as Saturn goes around the Sun, our viewing angle changes.
Tilt toward the Sun = rings wide and bright
Side-on (equinox) = rings thin, almost disappear
