It was light years away . . . .
Reflecting on what a light year is . . . . . so that’ll be 365 of these then!?
By November 13, 2026, Voyager 1 will reach a distance where its radio signals take a full light-day to travel between the spacecraft and Earth. At that point, Voyager 1 will be more than 25 billion kilometers away, deep in interstellar space beyond the Sun’s heliosphere. Every command sent from Earth and every packet of data returned will complete a 24-hour one-way journey through space.
This milestone highlights the true scale of the solar system and humanity’s farthest exploration. Voyager 1 crossed the heliopause in 2012, becoming the first spacecraft to directly sample the interstellar medium. From this region, it measures cosmic rays, plasma density, and magnetic fields unaffected by the Sun, providing unique insight into the galactic environment surrounding our star.
Reaching a light-day distance is not just symbolic. It marks a regime where communication delays rival planetary timescales, underscoring both the durability of 1970s technology and the vastness separating Earth from interstellar space.

“and we could all feel safe like Sharon Tate" . . . . John Cale - 'Leaving It Up To You' | Sharon by room mate Sheliah Wells
“My friends used to tease me: ‘How can you wake up in the morning and look at that face of hers?’ It was a good question. Sharon was so overwhelmingly, so incredibly beautiful that anyone not knowing her might think it took a lot to live with such a beauty. But, you see, that was another thing about Sharon. With all her beauty, everyone loved her. I never heard anyone say a bad word about her, not even another actress. And in this town that’s not only a rarity, it’s an impossibility! Sharon was the type of girl who had no defenses, no pretenses, she was just herself all the time. She was so trusting, so eager to accept people as they were, so generous.”
- Actress Sheliah Wells, who was room-mates with Sharon during the mid-1960s
Sharon Tate, 1968.
