Mag Recommendation - National Geographic "The New Unive
Bought 1 copy from Borders...Economical ( $19.90 ) and very good print and astro photos
Source: http://www.bautforum.com/showthread.php ... -(I-think)
"On page 10 of this issue of NatGeo, it seems there is an instance of bad astronomy. Over a beautiful backdrop of the Orion Nebula, there is a statement that seems erroneous: "1 million years old is the age of light from the center of the milky way that reaches Earth."
isn't light that reaches us from the center of the Milky Way only 27,000 years old?"
