I'm amazed how far it can reach. Makes me wonder if Earth would be hard to find for some advanced aliens because it must be like a loud party in the neighbourhood

Voyager 2 is 19 light hours away. Proxima Centauri (closest star which isn't the Sun) is 4.2 light years away.

15.000 years from now on and aliens will also receive this software update for Voyager. And maybe they will think of us as we think of Internet Explorer nowadays
