And there’s the rub about finding messages from Alien planets. By the time a message reaches us, they’d all be dead. By the time our message gets back to them, humans would be long gone.
Oh dear..there's a prime example...42. 4 only works in Norfolk..
Yes, the brightest and closest are in our little corner of the ever expanding universe, but it still makes me wonder - Betelgeuse in the Orion constellation is only 429 light years away, so we're looking at the early 1600's, but in the same constellation Alnilam is over 1300 light years away so what we are seeing there actually happened when the Vikings invaded northern England.
1300 years is statistically insignificant in the life of a star so the chances of any one star being no longer here is almost zero. But spread over millions of stars means that some will be gone, but most likely the ones much further away that we can’t see with a naked eye.
FTFY. Don’t forget that the whole solar system is moving within the spiral arm of our galaxy. As a rule of thumb, the closer the star, the greater the likelihood of an apparent change of position.
He was talking about stars. Surely you refer to 4 candles
Somewhere in our garage there's a brand new fork complete with handle that has never been used .He was talking about stars. Surely you refer to 4 candles
