It’s currently 132 astronomical units (au) from the Sun—1 au being the distance between the Earth and Sun, which is the unit of measurement used by astronomers to describe the Solar System.
An artist's illustration imagines the newly discovered Farfarout (lower right), now confirmed to be the most distant object ever observed in our solar system. Farfarout is 132 times the distance ...
They have since confirmed it is the most distant object yet found in our solar system. The team has since learned that Farfarout resides 132 astronomical units (AUs) from the Sun.
The distances in this part of the Solar System are immense, with the Oort Cloud sitting between 2,000 and 100,000 astronomical units from the Sun.
"Makes your ship's HUD display interstellar distances in light years (LY) instead of astronomical units (AU). Also increases the maximum light second (LS) value from 50,000 to 500,000.
A light year is a unit used to measure distance, not time. One light year is the distance travelled by light in one year. Light travels very quickly at around 300,000,000 metres per second (m/s ...
