Where is the farthest object ever made by humans now? | Voyager 1 discovered two new moons of Jupiter
NASA's Voyager 1, launched 49 years ago on September 5, 1977, is now travelling through interstellar space and remains the farthest humanmade object from Earth. It is approaching a distance of one lightday, or 25.902 billion km, from Earth, a milestone it will reach in November. Voyager 1 crossed into interstellar space in August 2012 and remains operational, NASA said.
