Nobody highlighted this and I didn't find any comment from Nasa/Voyager sites.
On August,11 the intrepid Voyager-1 probe will reach 14.960 billion Km from the Sun, one hundred times the average Earth-Sun distance! This event will be followed, after 16 days, by the 100AU from Earth reach. From astrophysical standpoint, first event is the most important but, I think, most people will be emotionally hit from the second one. So I would like to start a poll on this. -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

I would rather prefer AU as the reference from Sun. The Earth is no longer as the center of the world which were tought in the older times....

Rodolfo While that may be true, it is still the 'point of origin' for the craft...didn't leave the sun to go on a journey... -------------------- Eric P / MizarKey
