Would you want to flyby a star in space? Many people would, but there is a large unfathomable distance between us and even the closest star if only we could find a means to travel fast. Right? Well, your desire to travel to other stars may one day come true since Elon Musk, the space boss, has unveiled a warp drive spacecraft. What is a warp drive? When will you be able to board one and how fast can it move? Join us as we bring you the new warp drive concept everyone is talking about.
Because of their distance from us, the small stars seen in the night sky look big and exceedingly bright; otherwise, we would not be able to see them. The closest stars to Earth are three stars in the Alpha Centauri triple star system, which are around 4.37 light years distant. The closest of these stars, Proxima Centauri, is approximately 4.24 light years away. Moreover, there is also a red dwarf that is nearly six light years from Earth, known as Barnard’s Star. One light year is roughly equivalent to 5.88 trillion miles or 9.46 trillion kilometers.
What if you wish to travel to the furthest distant star visible from Earth? Then you must journey to a star known as Earendel, which is approximately 12.9 billion light years away from us, a frightening number of miles. Unfortunately, you can’t visit Earendel even if somehow it was possible since it is long dead; the star existed for barely a million years, which is equivalent to the blink of an eye in the cosmos. Despite the fact that it died a long time ago, the light has been travelling to us since then due to the massive distance and we are only able to observe its light.
