When will Voyager 1 leave our Milky Way Galaxy?
Voyager 1 was launched by NASA on September 5, 1977 and made flybys of Jupiter, Saturn.
It's currently traveling at a speed of 10.5 (16.9 km) per second away from our solar system.
But it will never be able to escape the Milky Way. Voyager 1 would need to get up to a speed of 341 miles (550 km) per second to leave.
The spacecraft will orbit the center of the Milky Way Galaxy until it collides with something or disintegrates. And if the spacecraft survives long enough, 500 million years from now, it will complete a full orbit through the Milky Way.
