A short about the journey of Voyager 1, one of the most iconic probes to ever have launched and currently the most distant human-made object from earth (159.25 AU, 23,824,211,355 km as of March 14, 2023).
This video is an artistic expressions of the events and does not claim to be scientifically accurate.
