Only 11 light years away? Heck, let’s hop on over there right now!

How long could it take?

Seriously, though, we may have telescopes that could image this planet in the coming decades...and that’s pretty cool.

A single light year is about 6 trillion miles. So..... doing the old math that’s ...66 trillion miles?
