We measure the extremely long distances between things in space by light years. A light year is the distance that light travels in one Earth year. Light travels at about 300,000 kilometres per second.

This year, the Buck Moon follows Earth's aphelion, the point in its orbit farthest from the Sun, by just a few days, ...
