So a light year is 6 trillion miles. This is a very useful fact to astronomers. The distances of the stars from the earth and from each other are so enormous, that a light year is used as the unit of measurement. For example, the nearest star to the earth, Centauri, is 4.3 light years away. This means that it requires 4.3 years for light from this star to reach the earth. The sun is 93,003,000 miles from the earth. It takes light from the sun 8.3 minutes to reach the earth. V THE PUZZLE BOX HUMOR IN HISTORY CANT I By Rod Warren SURE YOU CAN. JLfcT OF SOMETHING JUMP.

NANCY GOLINE, 11, Lorain, Ohio In times past some scientists believed that light could go from one place to another instantly. Others thought that light had a definite speed, but it might be too fast to measure. The first man able to prove that light really takes time to go from one place to another was a Danish astronomer, Olaf Roemer, who lived in the 17th century. By observing one of the moons ' of Jupiter he found that light travels almost 10,000,000 miles in a minute. Later on, other experiments were made and it was found that light travels about 186,000 miles a second, Then, with more "modern equipment, scientists arrived at the figure of 186,282 miles a second. Now if light travels that distance in just one second, how far does it go in a WINTHROP up I A . h V Ik T 4 O 1 J? |
