Your Stardatecard was sent on 6/5/2003 at 10:56:14 PM.
and has traveled 68,541,581,750,333 KM.

Your message will reach its targeted destination in 31,000,000 light years before continuing on in the Universe forever.

Stardatecards travel at the speed of light which is the distance that a light will travel in a year. Light travels at 180,000 miles, or 300,000 kilometers per second.

Below are a number of objects in space and time that it will take your message to pass the orbit of the astronomical body as it heads out of the solar system and into the area of interstellar space between the stars and the galaxies.

Click on the object below to discover more about the astronomical milestones your Stardatecard passed on its journey through the Universe! For information about astronomical objects outside of the solar system click on "beyond our solar system' on the graphic found at the top of the page.

The message progress page will continually update the distance that your message has travelled in space since its transmission from Science Alive! The New Zealand Science Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The orange giant star Antliae is the brightest star in the obscure constellation of Antlia, the air pump. During his visit to the Cape of Good Hope in 1751, French Astronomer Abbe Nicolas Louis de Lacaille first drew Antlia constellation on his star map, which was published in 1752.
Stardatecard™ messages may be seen many millions of light years from now, if life exists elsewhere in the galaxy.
