Light that left its star on the first day of 2022, is today 5.88 trillion miles (9.46 trillion km) away. Imagine how far you can go in 2023. https://go.nasa.gov/3Z4hKwP

@nasa The same distance + the distance light travels in 1 day given that 2023 is a leap year.

10 5x88 x 10^12
+ 6 x 10^12
= 16.5 x 10^12 miles

@zleap @nasa I came here to say this, but also 2023 is not a leap year.

@cantzler @nasa

Ah sorry, ok so are my calcuations are partly right then? Just don['t add the extra year of light travel.

@nasa

Does gravitational lensing impact on the distance light travels in a year or given period of time?
