    A logarithmic chart of distances, showing the planets, the Voyager spacecraft, the Oort Cloud, and our nearest star: Proxima Centauri. If we had a spacecraft that was capable of accelerating continuously and of withstanding the relativistic collisions that would ensue with interplanetary and interstellar material, upon leaving the Solar System, Voyager 1, the Oort Cloud, and Proxima Centauri would be the first three key “distance milestones” we’d encounter.
