hah, bullseye...almost scrolled past that.

The trip from the perspective of the photon would be instantaneous, if I remember correctly.

from the point of view of the photon, it took zero time

There are only about half a dozen stars twenty light years from here, and not all of them are visible to the naked eye. I wonder if the artist had one in mind.

reminds me of the two headed cow story

"Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be..."

Moo god, it's full of stars!

bull's eye

How could they see the target if not for another light particle having bankshot off it from even greater lightyears away and landed in their periphery?

What a misleading comic. The photon is cheating because it’s actually a wave existing everywhere and then just has to decide to collapse in the cow’s eye.

/s

What's wild is how many photons miss. 10E45 photons being emitted per second by a star, and the vast majority of them go out in a direction where there's nothing to hit.
