A light-year is the distance light will travel in a year or about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion kilometers.
a proposed planet near a star some 6 Â parsecs from Earth may not exist after all.
which measure 15,625 parsecs (50,000 light years) from end to end, formed from a single relatively rapid release of energy equivalent to that from 100,000 supernovae.
which is about 290 parsecs (946 light years) away from us, researchers reported on 20 december at a press conference and in Nature (F. Fressin et al.
which is around 5, 000 parsecs from Earth. See go. nature. com/ya5y2p for more.
Discovered in 2005, the planet orbits a star about 19 Â parsecs away in the Vulpecula,

(11.4 Â million light years) away. Students and staff at the University of London Observatory discovered the exploding star in the Ursa major constellation during a telescope lesson on 21 Â January.
For example even though the Sun is 500 light seconds from the Earth newtonian gravity describes a force On earth directed towards the Sun's position now not its position 500 seconds ago.
They found that the plants make natural insect repellant chemicals called glucosinolates during the light hours. The glucosinolates seemed to discourage caterpillars from munching on leaves.
His models extend out 900 astronomical units from the sun and so far 40 astronomical units have been compared to collected data.
The impact of the work Brian is doing is said significant Dr. Gary Zank heliophysics professor and director of the Center for Space Plasma and Aeronautic Research (CSPAR.
which are between one billion and five billion light years away. They studied their emission lines as observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
