Which probe is farthest from Earth?
|
In 1997, Pioneer 10 was about 6,000 million miles (nearly 10 billion km) from Earth. It left the solar system in 1986. Eventually it will be overtaken by Voyager 1, which is travelling faster. Both probes will take tens of thousands of years to reach other stars. | A Pioneer space probe |
