40 Section 3: The Memory Stack, LAST X, and Data Storage

Example: Two close stellar neighbors of Earth are Rigel Centaurus (4.3 light-years away) and Sirius (8.7 light-years away). Use the speed of light, c (3.0×108 meters/second, or 9.5×1015 meters/year), to figure the distances to these stars in meters. (The stack diagrams show only one decimal place.)
