Voyager’s Light-Day

Upper Shore

Join the NASA Wallops Visitor Center for Voyager’s Light-Day, a free public program on Saturday, Nov. 14 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., celebrating a historic milestone in space exploration!

Launched in 1977, NASA’s Voyager 1 has traveled farther from Earth than any other spacecraft. In 2012, it entered interstellar space beyond the Sun’s protective bubble and continues to send data back to Earth.

On November 18, Voyager 1 is expected to reach another historic milestone: traveling one light-day – about 16 billion miles – from Earth.

Learn all about Voyager 1’s historic mission during this family-friendly program. Enjoy hands-on activities and interactive demonstrations designed to inspire space explorers of all ages.
