JOURNEY OF THE ETANA

Travel and Communication Times

I plan to include a tool here that lets you enter a distance and get a speed of light communication time and travel time depending on ship speed. Also, I'll have some handy pre-computed tables, the beginnings of which you'll see below. These are convenient, as they have some known distances you can use to just know roughly how far apart certain celesial bodies should be, using our own solar system as reference. Enjoy!
