Description: Image of Voyager 1's radio signal as taken by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Very Long Baseline Array on February 21, 2013. At the time, Voyager 1 was roughly 11.5 billion miles away. The image is roughly 0.5 arcseconds across, and the oblong shape of the 22-watt radio signal is a result of the array's configuration.
