Signals traveling at the speed of light take 10 minutes to reach Earth.


If Juno can send signals to earth in 10 minutes, those signals are going at least 3.5 times the speed of light.

I guess Universe Today is getting its astronomy from the writers of Star Wars, where a parsec is a unit of time.

Ya know, if we’d stop paying people to breed we might be close to REAL interplanetary travel by now.
