Isn't weird to look out at the night sky and think, 'I'm actually seeing the stars how they looked many years ago'? Or is it just my mind that is always saying WHY?
you are seeing light that is millions of years old. (this is were math comes in)
Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our own, is still 39,900,000,000,000 km away. (Or 271,000 AU.) When we talk about the distances to the stars, we no longer use the AU, or Astronomical Unit; commonly, the light year is used. A light year is the distance light travels in one year - it is equal to 9.46 x 1012 km. Alpha Centauri A & B are roughly 4.35 light years away from us. Proxima Centauri is slightly closer at 4.22 light years.
The Voyager 1 spacecraft is on an interstellar mission. It is traveling away from the Sun at a rate of 17.3 km/s. If Voyager were to travel to Proxima Centauri, at this rate, it would take over 73,000 years to arrive. If we could travel at the speed of light, an impossibility due to Special Relativity, it would still take 4.22 years to arrive!
Why Can't We Travel Faster Than the Speed Of Light?
According to Special Relativity the mass of an object increases as its speed increases, and approaches infinity as the object's speed approaches the speed of light. This means that it would take an infinite amount of energy to accelerate an object to the speed of light.
There's no fundamental reason why we can't get as close to the speed of light as we like, provided we have enough energy. But this is probably far in the future.

If the space between stars is that large i think its going to take a while to reach our sky.

This is such a nice song ^-^
Quite sad that he died though :(

omg.
dont draw harcore Transformers slash in your sketch~book o.o
you never know when your teacher demands to flip through it.
guess what he saw?
Yup! that little slash picture i was going to upload to DA.
Happily its still in my book, however, my feet ARN'T in their sockets.

Oh and by the way,if your wondering, Lysander! Why are you all ANGST ANGST and have absolutley NO ego at all!?
Well i used to be a cherriful little girl, skipping along the feilds, feeding the birds, running on rainbows you know, all that good jazz.
And then in year two i did like a guy a little, i used to hang out with him, he was coo.
Until my friends started laughing about it.
I couldn't take it anymore, so i snapped.
And that was the day i had to start over on life.
I punched my friend in the face, and watched her bleed in the bathroom.
I didn't do anything about it. I simply tsked and walked away.
And then when it came to the boy, i totally hated him, when he was down i kicked him quite hard.
When he left, i felt no sympathy at all. Instead, i laughed and let the phyco inside me take over.
So now, if i have the chance, will make YOU feel how it feels to have everyone laugh at you,
Whisper, about you.
And im currently doing that to a friend of mine.
And then a brick fell on my head, so that made my condition even worse.
And now your saying
Pffts! C'mon 'Sander, your joshin' me!
Well i never regret my decisions.
And thats pretty much my grim outlook on life.
And why im a social outcast, just making sure it never happens again

What of a topic on... "podcasts," I think it's called? YouTube videos, like PBat, Yogscast, Tobuscus/TobyGames, and so on.

... maybe not...

My all time favorite thanks to his Mario Sunshine.
Hope they make a sequel/remake of that game.. that was my all time favorite game as a kid. d:
And I still play it every now and then.
I watch many various Let's Players like (Most/all contain bad language at times) UberHaxorNova, SSoHPKC (Seamus), YogsCast, xXSlyFoxHoundXx, LobsCast (I watch this guy mainly for Minecraft updates), PaperBatVG, and iHasCupquake.
I don't view all that they provide, but some of them have an actual job where you play and commentate on a game.
You may like a few. xP

Try not to laugh while watching it.

Two things you will be aware of by watching it from start to finish aswell.
