    100 ly years is actually kind of far. It is farther than most of our named stars. I wouldn’t consider it ‘nearby’.

        100 ly is not in our local intersteller neighborhood. It is 3x farther than even Arcturus.

          Good thing I never said it was.

          In space that is nearby.

          Human scale vs astrophysical scale.
