Ham radio operators receive signals from Voyager 1...
The fact that Voyager is far enough for light to take a day to reach us is mind blowing to me.
And that our solar system is more than a light day in diameter is also mind blowing.

Neptune is at 30 AU, which is about 4 light hours. Double that to get the diameter.

Apologies. I was referring to the heliopause.
