How long does it take to get to Pluto at light speed? Other Galaxies Object Time for the Light to Reach Us The Sun 8 minutes Jupiter 35 to 52 minutes Pluto 5 1/2 hours (on average) Alpha Centauri (nearest star...
Could we ever travel to another galaxy? The technology required to travel between galaxies is far beyond humanity’s present capabilities, and currently only the subject of speculation, hypothesis, and science fiction. However, theoretically speaking, there is nothing to conclusively indicate that...
How long would it take to get to the Milky Way from Earth? Even if you could travel at the speed of light (300,000 kilometers, or 186,000 miles, per second), it would take you about 25,000 years to reach the middle...
Will Earth ever leave the Milky Way? “It’s very unlikely,” Matteo Ceriotti, an aerospace engineer and space systems engineering lecturer at the University of Glasgow in the U.K., told Live Science in an email. However, as Ceriotti explained, “unlikely” does not...
How long would 1 light-year take? Light-year is the distance light travels in one year. Light zips through interstellar space at 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second and 5.88 trillion miles (9.46 trillion kilometers) per year. How long is a light-year...
How long would it take Voyager 1 to reach Andromeda? … and even if we ignored that – it would need 3.3 billion years for the journey at the current distance. How long would it take to walk to Andromeda galaxy?...
How far away from Earth is the Pleiades? How far apart are the 7 sisters? Now, astronomers have more precisely estimated the distance to be 444 light-years. What is your estimate of the distance to Pleiades? As detailed in a pair...
How long would it take to leave our galaxy? So, to leave our Galaxy, we would have to travel about 500 light-years vertically, or about 25,000 light-years away from the galactic centre. How long would it take to walk out of...
How long would it take to reach Andromeda at the speed of light? Although it may be one of the closest galaxies to our own, since the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light years distant it would take 2.5 million years...
Can we reach the end of our galaxy? So, to leave our Galaxy, we would have to travel about 500 light-years vertically, or about 25,000 light-years away from the galactic centre. We’d need to go much further to escape the ‘halo’...
