Sylvester started as a beautiful nowhere in 1893 and was first called Isabella Station. When the Brunswick and Albany Railroad came through southwest Georgia, the county seat was Isabella, which is located three miles north of the railroad.
It really is an incredibly long distance -- a lightyear is roughly 6 trillion miles or nearly 10 trillion kilometers. Here's how you calculate it. You start with the speed of light, which is about 186,000 miles per second. Then you multiply that by 3,600 seconds in an hour. Then you multiply that by 24 hours in a day.
1 light year is 5.878625 trillion miles 5878625000000 miles in one light Year Divided by 36,373 (the speed of New Horizons) = 161620570.203 Hours Divide Hours by 24 to get days = 6734190.42513 Days Divide Days by 365 to get Years = 18449.8367812 Years. It will take New Horizons, our fastest space craft, 18,450 years to go ONE light year.
