well the crab nebula is about 6,500 light years away so it would take 6,500 years to get there at the speed of light but we do not have any space craft that travel at that speed so it would take over a billion if not trillion years to get there!

Grab nebula was first seen on earth in 1054 how long did it take to get here?

The Crab Nebula is about 6,500 light-years away from Earth. Since one light-year is the distance light travels in one year, it took 6,500 years for the light from the Crab Nebula's explosion in 1054 to reach Earth.


How long ago did the Crab Nebulae explode?

The Crab Nebula or M1 has a supernova designation of SN1054 (SN=Supernova) and (1054 was the year is was observed).It is located about 6,500 light years from us, so it would have exploded about 6,500 years ago - give or take a few hundred years.


If the Sun turned into a red giant then a white dwarf with a nebula would this mean the end of life on earth?

It would. Current models suggest that Earth will actually be consumed and destroyed by the expanding sun. However, life on Earth will end long before that. The sun is very slowly expanding, which causes it to put out more heat and light. In about 800 million to 1 billion years Earth will become too hot to support liquid water.

How long does it take stars light to get to us?

In our Solar System, we see light from our sun reflected off the planets. In more distant galaxies, light from many millions of stars takes a long time to reach the Earth. It takes light 4 years to reach the Earth from Sirius, a near neighbouring star. Using the Hubble telescope, we can see the light from the Eagle Nebula, which takes 7,000 years to reach the Earth.
