Detailed explanation-1: -As of 2021 signals from Voyager 1 take over 21 hours to reach Earth.
Detailed explanation-2: -About 41 years after launch, the NASA spacecraft joined its twin in leaving the last edges of the solar system’s borders.
Detailed explanation-3: -Even if science data won’t likely be collected after 2025, engineering data could continue to be returned for several more years. The two Voyager spacecraft could remain in the range of the Deep Space Network through about 2036, depending on how much power the spacecraft still have to transmit a signal back to Earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -NASA said that about 300 years from now, Voyager 1 should enter the Oort Cloud, a hypothetical spherical band full of billions of frozen comets. It should take another 30, 000 years to reach the end of it. The spacecraft are taking different paths as they head out into deep space.
