The distances cited for both Voyagers are incorrect in the article about the Termination Shock. As of 2/24/06, Voyager I was over 9 billion miles away (from both the Earth and the Sun), and Voyager II was over 7 billion miles away. This article claims that Voyager 1 is now 8.6 billion miles, and Voyager II at 6.5 billion. Since both are moving away at least 34,000 miles per hour, and more than three months have passed since the numbers I quote above, the article's claims are clearly way off. In fact, you have to go all the way back to January of 2005 to see a distance of 8.7 billion for Voyager 1.<br /> <br />But don't take my word for it, NASA keeps track:<br /> <br />http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/weekly-reports/index.htm<br />
