Just FYI nothing man made is even close to light years away from the Earth.

EDIT: I don't understand the downvotes. Isn't this just fact?

EDIT 2: I see the OP changed his original comment, so I can understand the confusion. Thanks all :)

voyager 1 which is currently the farthest man made object from earth is approx 147 AU away, where as 1 light year is equiv to 63241.1 AU... so it has a little ways to go still :)

Nobody's questioning that fact (barring well-deserved pedantry about radio signals), but GP's claim was light days so the downvotes are probably about the nonsequitur.

Do radio signals count as man-made?

Ok, nothing man-made of the spacecraft type...
