- The star 61 Cygni A is 11.4 light-years from Earth. Imagine a spaceship that travels from Earth to 61 Cygni A at a constant speed of 0.921c. On Earth, we would measure the time it takes for the ship to reach the star to be 11.4 ly 0.921c = 12.4 years. (a) How much time (in years) would it take the ship to travel from the Earth to the star as measured by a traveler aboard the ship? years (b) What is the distance to the star (in light years) as measured by a traveler aboard the ship? lythanks.
