Fun Fact

In 4 days, the light that was leaving the Sun on the day I was born will hit a star called Zeta Doradus. Zeta Doradus is 38 light years away or (as Google tells me) 2.23382993 × 10¹⁴ miles.

How would I know this?

Because I make use of the Light cone service that can produce an RSS feed that notifies you when your light cone is approaching or hits a stellar object.

So, yes, I'm a geek AND my birthday is approaching! :-)
