Light always travels at the speed of light (300 million metres / second) regardless of the motion of the observer or the source! This is the basis of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. And this is why, by our everyday experience, weird things happen when things travel fast. Time slows down, lengths contract etc. This is why clocks on satellites run just a little slower, and also why Charlton Heston ages only a few months in the space ship while human civilisation has time to collapse as apes rise to rule the world.
Thanks Rob!! That is a hell of a long way away!!
I'll check it out as soon as the clouds bugger off.
