The sequence of woodland vistas, the revelations of scale and distance, light and dark, building and nature, land and water, as one approaches the entrance, were superbly orchestrated by Wright.
Viewed from a distance of ten light-years, the sun's side-to-side wobble due to Jupiter causes its position to change by 1.6 thousandths of an arcsecond.
As they announced at the meeting in San Diego, the Sloan survey team was able to pick up such a density peak at a distance of 500m light years.
Extrapolating from these results, they think that an orbiting zone plate measuring somewhere between 15 metres and 40 metres across will be enough to distinguish the spectrum of an Earthlike planet at a distance of 30 light-years.
Its age, and the finite speed of light, means no astronomer can look beyond a distance of 13.7 billion light-years.
ECONOMIST: In praise of astronomy, the most revolutionary of sciences
Cheng says the comet is likely making its first visit to the inner solar system from the Oort cloud, a reservoir of hundreds of millions of comets encircling our solar system at a distance of about a light year.
FORBES: Budgets Nudge NASA Toward Balloon-Based Planetary Science: First Target? Comet ISON
At a distance of more than 20 light years from Earth, Gliese 581c is not exactly on the doorstep.
That is, at its distance, it took the light from the Galaxy over 13 billion years to reach us.
FORBES: Why Marco Rubio Needs To Know That The Earth Is Billions Of Years Old
If measured this way the neutrinos will not be faster than light, provided Distance and Time can be correctly measured.
FORBES: New Evidence Casts Doubt On Faster-Than-Light Neutrinos
We suddenly wake up and find ourselves disoriented, wondering where we are, and possibly mistaking a light in the distance for something completely different.
Gould's estimate of a 15, 000-light-year distance to the new planet is an approximation, and he says he will need more data to refine the number.
In D2 you walked in a cave and suddenly saw some light in the distance, you run at it and realize its an lighting enhanced super strong skeleton archer.
At a distance of about 400 million light-years, NGC 6240 is a prime example of a massive galaxy in which stars are forming at an exceptionally rapid rate due to a recent collision and subsequent merger of two smaller galaxies.
His lobster roll is fresh and light and closes the distance between Cape Cod and Washington.
At a relatively close distance of 2.5 million light-years, Andromeda is very similar in size to our own Milky Way Galaxy.
And I like to open them because sometimes I can see the figures of my divers in the distance and I can also see the light changing.
"Suddenly, we saw in the distance a strong and intense flash of white light, which followed a descending and vertical trajectory and which broke up in six seconds, " the captain wrote.
CNN: Brazilian air force says debris was not from Air France crash
Black holes are notoriously difficult to study, since so much in astronomy depends on the detection of light - and within a certain distance from a black hole, even that cannot escape.
The black holes are separated by an estimated distance of less than a third of a light-year - cheek-to-cheek by black hole standards and significantly closer than the postulated binary system spotted by the Chandra X-ray Observatory in 2003.
Behind him, the twisting green vines stretch out into the distance, their leaves tinged with gauzy mid-afternoon light, their stems rising up from a rich ochre-red soil.
Seth Shostak, an astronomer at the SETI Institute in California, speculated in 2011 that there could be 30, 000 habitable worlds within 1, 000 light-years of Earth, a minuscule distance by galactic standards.
In the case of light whose wavelength is an exact submultiple of this distance, crest falls on crest, and trough on trough, reinforcing the colour.
The latency cannot be less than the distance the electromagnetic signal has to travel divided by the speed of light.
ECONOMIST: The faster the internet becomes, the slower it loads pages
And even as there will be dark days ahead in Afghanistan, the light of a secure peace can be seen in the distance.
Roger Linfield and his colleagues at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, who are in charge of the mission, aim to show that spacecraft flying in formation can be controlled so precisely that the distance between them varies by only a tiny fraction of a wavelength of light.
Designing them to light up an entire room or shine a beam over a long distance is far more technically challenging and requires higher production costs.
The A4WP's solution is a "non-radiative magnetic resonance-based wireless power transfer ecosystem" -- in short, it allows your phone, tablet or other A4WP-certified gadget (such as light bulbs, as demonstrated above) to charge from a small distance.
ENGADGET: Hands-on with Alliance for Wireless Power's charging pad prototypes
We started out by taking photos of a still projected image of some foliage, from a distance of around two feet from the screen -- by which time the light from the projector had had quite a journey.
ENGADGET: This is what native 4K home cinema looks like on Sony's VPL-VW1000ES projector
While he has campaigned most of his career at the super-featherweight limit, St Clair has moved up for big fights against the likes of the late Diego Corrales and former WBA light-welterweight king Vivian Harris, both of whom he took the distance.
