Damn that's almost 4x farther away than Pluto. Incredible.

They just had to turn it off while it was traveling through the aliens territory so we couldn't see.

Isn't the distance between Eart and Pluto constantly changing therefore not a constant distance?

Yeah but I just googled it and its currently 3 billion miles away

I think it has potential to find new life forms, there has to be something else out there, there is over 100 planets in our galaxy alone.

I have a question. Considering this thing is traveling very fast, what's it's apparent age in relation to us on earth? I know it's not traveling at the speed of light, but just curious.

Also, let's say we are capable of sending something at the speed light. Let's say we record it traveling for 2 years our time. When it comes back, would it only feel like it has been in flight for a few days?

Not flying fast enough for any of this to be a relevant question.

Yes, to the second question.

 

[Low Test With da Best]

Yes, to the second question.

If it flies back at us at the speed of light would it gain back the time it missed in relation to us? A temporal red/blue shift as it were?
