Why is it reasonable to suspect that travel between stars is nearly impossible?
Astronomers are always making comparisons between measurements in astronomy and something that might be more familiar. For example, the Hipparcos web pages tell us that the measurement accuracy of 0.001 arcsec is equivalent to the angle made by a golf ball viewed from across the Atlantic Ocean, or to the angle made by the height of a person on the Moon as viewed from Earth, or to the length of growth of a human hair in 10 sec as seen from 10 meters away. Use the ideas in Example 19.2 to verify one of the first two comparisons.

QUESTION 3 Use the fact that the speed of light in a vacuum is about 3.00 x 108 m/s to determine how many kilometers (km) a pulse from a laser beam travels in 2.2 hours. Answer in units of km and round to two decimal places. Tip: Scientific/exponential notation such as $.4×10 -4 should be entered as 5.4e-4 or 5.4E-4 with NO space.
25) Recall that Hubble’s Law is given by V=HR; this means that H has units of inverse seconds (1/sec). A convenient laboratory set of units is to give H in km per sec per megaparsec. A parsec is 3.26 light years and the speed of light is 3 X 105 km/sec. Use 3.156 X 107 sec/yr. The first data off the then new Hubble Space telescope suggested a value of H equal to 108 km per sec per megaparsec. What is H in inverse seconds? Hint divide by the number of km in a megaparsec.
