Your Birthday Star
Light travels through space at 299,792 kilometers (186,282 miles) per second. But the stars we see in the night sky are so distant that we use light-years to measure how far away they are.
A light-year is the distance light travels in one year: 9.46 trillion kilometers (5.88 trillion miles)! Even the closest star to us, Proxima Centauri, is 4.2 light years away, which means it takes 4.2 years for that star’s light to reach us on Earth.
Your birthday star is a star whose distance in light years is the same as your age. The light from your birthday star left that distant star on the day you were born and has taken your entire lifetime to reach your eyes.
