Nearest galaxy ~500 Light years
FIVE HUNDRED YEARS FOR THE SPEED OF LIGHT
>implying it fucking matters
>>7643637
Light years is for measuring time not distance you moron.
It's 500 light yards.
>>7643637
The nearest galaxy is 25 000 ly away.

andddd dropped
>>7643664
Either way it doesn't matter, we'd need millions of years to get there so it's fucking shite lad

The number of stars created in the galaxy per year is 7, not 25.

>light year is not distance
Light travels 299,792 kilometers per second
that's 1,079,251,200 kilometers per hour
25,902,028,800 kilos per day
9,454,240,512,000 kilos per year
nearest galaxy is 25,000 ly away
thats...
236,856,012,800,000,000 kilometers away, give or take a few 1,000,000 kilos
now take into consideration that that only the speed of light, compared to our modern engine speeds, we are adding quadrillions of kilometers farther.
we would need literal warp drives to even make 1/200 the trip
>>7643660
Light years measure the path length of geodesics in spacetime.
>>7645448
Speed is both right? Miles per Hour
Distance per Time
