A light year is a measurement of distance, not time. Presently, we are unable to travel that distance and the Voyager missions combined have not traveled that distance. It is truly pie in the sky.

Didn’t think a star with only 4x mass of sun could become a BH.

1000 light years...
Very close indeed!
An interesting astrophotography target if i was in the southern hemisphere.

That’s closer than i thought.
I remember that Voyager was stranded 70 thousand light years from earth on the other side of the galaxy in the Delta quadrant .
not only were they stuck on the other side but they apparently were 20,000 light years even further out...

I imagine it is pretty mellow living out there on the outer rim.
I bet it’s a nice place to buy a cabin...
