Voorbeelden van light year

• The year 1921 was an exceptionally light year for sickness, and many actuaries regarded it as an abnormally light year.

• In a light year a ray of light travels 6 trillion miles, but we do not want to go into that.

• When they come within one light year of one another, they will emit gravitational waves that will radiate further orbital energy until they merge completely.

• In some cases, specialized units are used, such as the astronomer's parsec and light year or the particle physicist's barn.

• It would need about 17,565 years at this speed to travel a complete light year.

• This was coherent with the estimation made by astronomers in 1938, but after some additional measurement, this distance was re-estimated at 14.3 light year.

• Along its longest visible dimension, it thus measures about 13 3 light year across.

• This is equivalent to moving a distance of one light year every 14,700 years.

• The distance to this star has been measured directly using the parallax method, which places it away with a margin of error of about a light year.

• The nearest other intelligent life form must be roughly 10 billion light years away.

• Partly for this reason, it is still the unit preferred in astronomy and astrophysics, though the light year remains prominent in popular science texts and more everyday usage.

• If this acceleration were to continue forever at its present rate, our descendants could devour only the region currently within about 10 billion light years.

• However, if the player happened to find a system 655.36 to 670.36 light years away, it would be counted by the game as within the 15 light year range.

• Their results indicate that the bar is 27 000 light years long.

• Our standards of training are already light years ahead of those in almost every private security company.
