The Distance Between Stars Is Worse Than You Think
Close your eyes and let your mind drift into the impossible emptiness between the stars. A journey into the true scale of interstellar distance, where our nearest neighbor is over four light-years away. At the speed of Voyager 1, it would take 75,000 years to reach Proxima Centauri. Even if we could travel at 10% the speed of light, the journey would span a human lifetime. The distances are so vast that the solar system is an island in an ocean of silence. Let the quiet emptiness of interstellar space carry you into a deep and restful sleep.
