And how long until they reach the next star? They're not pointed anywhere in particular. We are talking about millions of years here.



Millions of years? Fat chance. A few days ago this post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21327269 explained that during the galactic collision of the Milky Way and Andromeda in 4B years, no two stars will likely collide because of the sheer amount of empty space. Keeping that in perspective, I highly doubt that Voyager would find its way anywhere in some mere millions of years.

Think we can point the James webb at one and get a farewell Pic?
