Please note that the specific conditions on the Voyager 1 spacecraft might have changed since then.

Voyager 1 is a space probe launched by NASA in 1977, and as of my knowledge it is the farthest human-made object from Earth. It has traveled beyond the outer regions of our solar system and entered interstellar space.

If you were on board the Voyager 1 spacecraft, you would currently be in the vast expanse of interstellar space, far beyond the influence of any individual star. The Sun would appear as a distant point of light, similar to other stars in the sky. The surrounding space would be incredibly dark, with no significant sources of light nearby. You would observe countless stars in all directions, forming a backdrop of the Milky Way galaxy.

Voyager 1 continues to transmit scientific data back to Earth, mainly related to interstellar space, cosmic rays, magnetic fields, and plasma density. However, due to the immense distances involved, the communication signal from Voyager 1 would be extremely weak by the time it reaches Earth, requiring large antennas and sensitive receivers to capture and decode the signal.

Keep in mind that the specific conditions on Voyager 1 may have evolved, and for the most up-to-date information, it's best to refer to the latest reports from NASA or other space agencies monitoring the mission.
