Light that left its star on the first day of 2022, is today 5.88 trillion miles (9.46 trillion km) away. Imagine how far you can go in 2023. https://go.nasa.gov/3Z4hKwP#NASAExoplanets
@nasa The same distance + the distance light travels in 1 day given that 2023 is a leap year.
10 5x88 x 10^12 + 6 x 10^12 = 16.5 x 10^12 miles
@zleap @nasa I came here to say this, but also 2023 is not a leap year.
@cantzler @nasa
Ah sorry, ok so are my calcuations are partly right then? Just don['t add the extra year of light travel.
@nasa
Does gravitational lensing impact on the distance light travels in a year or given period of time?
