text: Voyager 1 is still the farthest man made object in the universe from Earth .
simplified: Voyager 1 is the farthest human-made object from Earth , traveling away from both the Earth and the Sun at a relatively faster speed than any other probe . The New Horizons mission to Pluto was launched from Earth at a faster speed than Voyager 1 , however since that probe will not get all the gravity assists which sped Voyager along its path , it will never pass Voyager 1 .
