Tonight, In The Dark (Wherever You May Be) -- Go Out, And Send The Below Morse Code Flash Pattern, Up To The Night Skies... "V G R" Has Been Zipping Along, Since 1977!


Sometime a week from tomorrow -- on the 18th (depending on your time zone), Voyager will reach A Full Light-Day, in distance, from all of us -- here on Earth.

So. . . why would we flash Morse Code lights, tonight -- or during the coming week?! Well, because it will take a full day, for Voyager to "see" it. That's how far away it is. Amazing! Here are the deets:

. . .NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is about to pass an extraordinary milestone, a distance reached by no other human-made object: one light-day away from Earth.

After sunset on Tuesday, Nov. 17, we invite you to “Shine Bright for Voyager’s Light-Day” by lighting a signal skyward, joining a worldwide celebration of this historic moment, nearly 50 years in the making.

To participate, click this on your phone outside -- or, grab a flashlight and shine V-G-R in Morse code. . . .


Or, turn your phone flashlight on and off, in the pattern shown at right. Very cool, and well done -- v'ger! [This will be re-run in a week.] Out.
