Reply to Trying to understand light years by [deleted]
It would take 200 years(or 642 yrs) if and only if one could travel at the speed of light, which is not gonna happen, so that's the time delay between "now" and what we are seeing for each object. Actual TRAVEL times for humans are far, far longer.

Reply to TIL that children born earlier in the academic year have a higher chance of participating in upper echelons of sports or academia. This is known as the Relative Age Effect. by ThatFaultyGamer
Yes, obvious - I was born at the end of August so I was as much as a year younger and a head smaller than the rest of my class, who would have started school a year later if born only a few days later than me.
