Give or Take

In Exoplanets by Brian Koberlein0 Comments

Think on this for just a moment. Kepler-93 is 315 light years away, and we know the diameter of the star to within the width of the Earth. We know the diameter of one of its planets to within 120 kilometers. That’s a distance you could travel in a bit more than an hour on an interstate highway. Give or take.
