A geographical criterion of inaccessibility marks a location that is the most challenging to reach according to that criterion. Often it refers to the most distant point from the coastline, implying the farthest point into a landmass from the shore, or the farthest point into a body of water from the shore. In these cases, a pole of ...
This article documents the most distant astronomical objects discovered and verified so far, and the time periods in which they were so classified. For comparisons with the light travel distance of the astronomical objects listed below, the age of the universe since the Big Bang is currently estimated as 13.787±0.020 Gyr.
The most distant point from an ocean is the Eurasian Pole of Inaccessibility (or "EPIA") , in China's Xinjiang region near the border with Kazakhstan Calculations have shown that this point, located in the Dzoosotoyn Elisen Desert , is 2,645 km (1,644 mi) from the nearest coastline.
Greatest distance between any two points in the 50 states: 5,859 miles (9,429 km), from Kure Atoll, Hawaii, to Log Point, Elliott Key, Florida. [23] Greatest distance between any two points in the contiguous 48 states: 2,901 miles (4,669 km), from North Farallon Island, California, to Sail Rock, east of West Quoddy Head, Maine. [23]
Scientists have confirmed that Farfarout is the most distant object in the Solar System — it makes Pluto seem close.
It's considered the most distant body ever spotted orbiting the Sun, and it's actually kind of difficult to put its incredible orbit into perspective. One way of measuring its distance is in ...
Voyager 1 overtakes Pioneer 10 as the most distant spacecraft from the Sun, at 69.419 AU. Voyager 1 is moving away from the Sun at over 1 AU per year faster than Pioneer 10. 2004-12-17 Passed the termination shock at 94 AU and entered the heliosheath. 2007-02-02 Terminated plasma subsystem operations. 2007-04-11 Terminated plasma subsystem heater.
