Listened

// Have you ever wondered what a lightyear really is? Even though it has the word "year" in it, a lightyear doesn't measure time... it measures distance! In this episode, we explore just how fast light travels and how far it can go in a single year. You'll find out why scientists use lightyears to understand space, and what it means when a star "lightyears away!" //
