They say that there are some Earth-like planets located about 39 light years away.
Refers to this recent news.39 light years?It's like 39 years away at the speed of light.Light...MiscelleanyIf it was the Kodama, then...How long would that be on the Nozomi?There are three 'speeds' of shinkansen on the Tokaido section (Tokyo>Shin-Osaka (and some that go to Fukuoka also)), the Nozomi ('hope'), Hikari ('light') and Kodama ('echo'); the Nozomi is the one that stops the least, and is thus the fastest; the Kodama stops at every station; and the Hikari stops at more than the Nozomi, but is almost as fast. The vast majority of the timetable is comprised of Nozomi, however.)
