"isn't this the time for superman to step in and save the world
We have wishy so i am hoping he can save the day! "It is just beyond the 1,000 parsecs distance limit (3,260 light years (1 light year = 5,865,696,000,000 miles but is usually rounded to 6 trillion miles)). Now, times 6 trillion miles by 3,260 and you can see that if P Tyxidis does go supernova it's going to take an awfully long time for it's effect to be felt on Earth, and it will only be felt on Earth if P Tyxidis moves within 1,000 parsecs at the time it goes supernova. I'll leave a message for my unborn great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandchildren to wear factor 2 million that day.  | |||

"The only factors you have to know to work out pretty much any distance/time equation regarding Space and the universe is that our nearest star, apart from our own Sun, is Alpha Centauri and it is 4.3 light years away. A spaceship travelling at 25,000 mph, with an inexhaustable fuel supply, would take 10,000 years to get there. Now you have all the numbers you need to calculate any distance in miles from The Earth, given that you know how far away the object is that you are concerned with. For example: ~ Star R136a1 = 165,000 light years away 165,000 / 4.3 * 10,000 = 3.8bn years ~ Star T Pyxidis = 3,260 light years away 3,260 / 4.3 * 10,000 = 7.5mn years ~ Increased velocity reduces the distance away in years. ie. 50,000mph = half the time it takes to get there. ~ Generations are generally calculated at 1 generation every 25 years (probably 20 years in today's world tbh) So, if you have the total amount of light years it will take you to travel somewhere in the universe all you do is divide it by 25 to calculate how many generations of your family will have lived and died in the time it takes to travel there.
It's quite easy really lol

"The only problem to all this darting about the universe is that if we were to try and travel to Star R136a1 we would need a spaceship of such an immense size that it could carry enough people who could reproduce offspring who would learn how to fly the ship and then create offspring themselves to fly it after they have died. To produce 152mn generations without genetic mutations because of a limited gene pool would take millions of people all producing 2 children and then insuring that each child produced more children with people OTHER than those genetically related to them. ~ Meanwhile, here on Earth, with the amount of people migrating from one country to the next we are, in fact, contributing to our own extinction. People migrating will invariably begin to breed in their new habitats which leads to a dilution of the overall gene pool and if our gene pool is reduced to the point where more children are born with deformities than without then our species will inevitably become extinct. Some would argue that with the addition of new genes from people in countries who have never previously migrated then we are, in fact, increasing the overall gene pool, which is true, however, with a finite amount of humans on the planet each carrying a finite set of chromosomes, it is simply a matter of time before all of these people are genetically related with no new additions to add further to the mix. So where we may enjoy an explosion of population diversity for a while, it will only be for a comparitively short while in Astrogenetic terms. Which is why I don't believe humans will ever travel to distant galaxies unless we can find a way to travel in non-linear direction at speeds greater than time itself."

"But that's the same mistake.... if Pluto was one light year away ( which it isnt.... Now we wont go into how you over exagerate measurments.... ) again we would not see the effects from Earth for a year. Also, as Pluto has no Ozone layer, it would show no visible effects from the energy wave caused by a nova. Very poor work.... you are hereby demoted to "Toilet Cleaner"... and we mean the bottle not the job! | |||

Earth is an average of 149,600,000 km (1.0AU) from the sun. This would indicate a distance of over 5.7 billion kilometers or 38.5 AU between the two. However, Pluto's orbit is highly elliptical and varies from 4.4 to 7.4 billion kilometers (30 to 49 AU) from the Sun. And given its 17° inclination to the ecliptic, it would seldom if ever be in a direct line with the Earth and the Sun. However, should Pluto ever be near its closest point to Earth's orbit when the Earth is also near that point, the closest approach between the two would be 4.3 billion kilometers (29 AU). AU's Between Pluto and Earth Pluto's average distance from the Sun is 39.4 AU. (An AU is an Astronomical Unit and is defined as the average distance between the center of the Earth and the center of the Sun.) One AU equals 92,955,807 million miles, but Pluto's distance from the Sun ranges from 29.7 to 49.3 AU. So, depending on the orbits of Pluto and Earth, the distance between the two could be anywhere from 28.7 AU (Earth directly between Pluto and Sun when Pluto is closest to the Sun) to 50.3 AU (Earth directly opposite Sun from Pluto when Pluto is farthest from the Sun). However, keep in mind that an AU is an average and that Earth's actual orbit varies anywhere from 91 to 94.5 million miles. | |||
