On September 9, 2012, Voyager 1 was 121.836 AU (1.82264×1010 km; 1.13254×1010 mi) from the Earth and 121.798 AU (1.82207×1010 km; 1.13218×1010 mi) from the Sun; and traveling at 17.043 km/s (38,120 mph) (relative to the Sun) and traveling outward at about 3.595 AU per year.

Sunlight takes 16.89 hours to get to Voyager 1.

On December 3, 2012, scientists said Voyager 1 had reached a "magnetic highway" that leads to interstellar space.

On November 7, 2012, Voyager 2 reached 100 AU, making it the third human made object to reach 100 AU.
