Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I had to check that math in my head.
4ly = 4yr • 3.1 * 10^7 sec/yr • 3 * 10^5 km/sec ≈ 36 trillion km
Multiply by 0.6214 to get miles = 22 trillion miles
I’m sure they have the right number. Mine was a ballpark estimate, as one does in physics. I think Proxima Centauri is about 4.2ly from Earth.
