... Bad Astronomy . Misconceptions . ... Bad Astronomy : "We're light years more advanced than our competition!" ... Even the closest astronomical object, the Moon, is 400,000 kilometers away! ... A beam of light will travel 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers in one year. This distance is defined as a light year ; the distance light travels in a year. ... This is another example of Bad Astronomy; like a light year, a parsec is a unit of distance, not time (to be specific, it equals 3.26 light years) . ...

The attention of the scientific world has been gripped by the publication of work by two former research students at Armagh Observatory, namely Dr Enric Pall and his wife, Dr Pilar Monta s-Rodr guez . ... What is unusual about their work is that the spectrum was obtained during a total lunar eclipse meaning that the light had passed tangentially through the Earth's atmosphere before illuminating the Moon. ... 028-3752-2928; FAX: 028-3752-7174; cjb arm.ac.uk; jmf arm.ac.uk . ...
