Something I've just learned for my literary ice-fishing expedition to the Oort Cloud. Even traveling at relativistic speed, (speeds approaching the speed of light) it would take you more than a hundred days to reach the interior of the Oort Cloud (I'm figuring about a fifth of the way in), which is the 'shell' of icy material and comets at the outer edge of our solar system. The Oort Cloud is believed to be about 3,000 to 100,000 AUs (an AU is the distance from the Earth to the sun, or about 93 million miles). By comparison, Pluto is about 40 AUs distant from the sun. StarEmpires is not meant to be a science lesson, but if you aren't careful, you might learn something along the way.

AuthorI'm one of those people who writes like most people read. I'm always writing something. The book on my nightstand is one that I'm writing. Beyond thaat I'm just like you, just like everyone else in my own unique way. And I live and work in Las Vegas with three cats and enjoy a loving long distance relationship with a beautiful, wonderful lady. ArchivesCategories |
