AI Thread Summary
The approximate distance between Mu Leporis and Nihal is about 17.83 lightyears, though precision may vary. Mu Leporis is located 175 lightyears from Sol, while Nihal is 172 lightyears away. There are no significant physical obstacles or interstellar objects noted between the two stars that would complicate a narrative journey. The discussion emphasizes the importance of accuracy in science fiction writing to maintain reader engagement. Overall, the distance and lack of obstacles provide a straightforward backdrop for storytelling.

"Dammit Jim! I'm a writer, not a stellar cartographer!"

Doin some homework for a SF story.
I badly need to know the approximate distance between Mu Leporis and Nihal.

Also useful:
Distance from Sol to Mu Lep, distance from Sol to Nihal, warnings about any known odd ball physical effects or interstellar objects between Mu Lep and Nihal that shouldn't be overlooked in a chapter covering a trip between those two stars.
My impression is that there's no reason to expect a trip between Nihal and Mu Lep would involve passing through any known physical obstacles, that left uncovered in such a story, could quickly get my :-) "undying prose" covered by the remains of a knowledgeable reader’s lunch

Tx in advance for any help...

been there lately?

Nihal (Beta Leporis) is about 172 lightyears away from us.
Mu Leporis is 175 lightyears away, but not exactly in the same direction.
If you want to know the approximate distance between these two stars, then it will be a bit harder to compute.
 
lucky for you i have a math test soon...

The two stars should be 17.83 lightyears apart (drop the .83, it's not accurate anyway)
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
