Pluto is no longer considered a planet...

[DennyMcLain]

When we see a star in the sky that's, say, 2 million light years away, the light we are viewing literally takes TWO MILLION YEARS to get to us traveling at 186,282 miles per second. In other words, we are looking into the past.

Another thing -- we also might be looking at nothing. The star may have already imploded. But of course, we won't know that until the starlight from today reaches our eyes a couple of million years from now.

Damn, it's too bad Steve isn't still here. He'd say "Huh? That's stoopid. You're gay, and rape children".
