interstellar travel
Between the suns
Interstellar travel is movement between star systems—journeys across the vast distances separating our sun from other stars.
The concept appears constantly in science fiction but remains beyond current technology due to the enormous scales involved; even the nearest star is over four light-years away.
Interstellar travel would require propulsion systems far more advanced than anything we have today.
