Last night you went stargazing and you saw a bright yellow star.You looked it up online and found that it is a star that is 1106 light years away. What year was it (on Earth) when the star light you saw last night first left the star and began its journey to planet Earth? square

Here's how to calculate the year the starlight began its journey:<br /><br />* **Current Year:** We need the current year to perform the calculation. Let's assume the current year is 2024.<br />* **Light Years to Years:** A light-year is the distance light travels in one year. So, if a star is 1106 light-years away, the light we see from it left the star 1106 years ago.<br />* **Calculation:** Subtract the light-year distance from the current year: 2024 - 1106 = 918<br /><br />Therefore, the light you saw last night left the star in the year **918 AD**.<br />
