5 Recent NASA Discoveries To Blow Your Mind

My RP friends...I have posted numerous videos regarding space as have many others interested in the vastness of space and everything we can see with our varied types of telescopes, both Earth bound and in Orbit around Earth!

Space is seemingly limitless in size and new methods of simplified measurements. Currently, Scientists measure celestial bodies in distant locations in the cosmos in terms of Light Years...
What that really means is that the distance of , let's say Alpha Centauri (Our Nearest Star system) is 4.3 light years away. What does that mean? It means that the distance light travels in one Earth Year is a "light year". Now light travels at 186,000 miles per second or 299,792,458 metres/second! or in chart form these are some of the measurement terms:

Astronomical units per day: 173
Miles per second: 186000
Metres per second: 299792458
Miles per hour: 671000000
Kilometres per hour: [login to see]
Parsecs per year: 0.307
From Sun to Earth (1 AU): 8.3 min
Doing the calculations will give you the distance in miles, or kilometers, or whatever level one chooses... GIve it a try!
