There is no answer to that. A light year is a measure of distance, not time. It is the distance light travels in one year, so it has nothing to do with dates. It is like asking what is today's date in miles.

When did Regulus first give off light?

Regulus first gave off light 77.5 years ago...which from today 2012, it would be around 1935. But this is not accurate.


Which year did regulus give off light you see when look at the star today?

Regulus or Alpha Leonis is approximately 77 light years away. Light reaching Earth in 2010 would have left Regulus in 1933.


Interpret the following Astronomy is the science of looking into the past?

Most observed stars and galaxies lie many many light years away from Earth. As a result, say for a star that is 5 light years away from Earth, the light we see coming from that star today or tonight was actually emitted 5 years ago from that star. Now imagine a star thousands of light years away, the light that we observe took thousands of years to travel to Earth and therefore carry an image thousands of year old.


Is sun a fossil fuel?

NO, The sun shines today and hopefully tomorrow and brings warmth and light as it did to the dinosaurs millions of years ago that since has been converted to the crude oil we recover today.


Would it be possible to see the star Betelgeuse even if that star had died hundreds of years ago?

When we look at stars, we are seeing the light that they are emitting. That light could have left them many years ago. The light from Betelgeuse takes over 640 years to reach us. So if it exploded today, we would not see that explosion for over 640 years. So it is possible that it is already gone, but the light that left before it went is still coming towards us.
