| Jan 21, 2015 at 22:45 | comment | added | Nerrolken | @DavidConrad I know Tau isn't Tauri, that's why I didn't add it as an answer. The point I was making was that we have no real-world analogs or parallels to which we can anchor the fictional and famously inconsistent warp-speed distance math. But Aldebaran being 65 light years from Earth is relevant in ruling it out as an analog for Tau Alpha, because something that takes 4 months at almost maximum warp from a Federation outpost isn't going to be anywhere near Federation space anymore, let alone Earth, which is near the heart of the Federation. | |

| Jan 21, 2015 at 22:35 | comment | added | David Conrad | @Nerrolken It is only 65 light years away from Earth, but since the Enterprise wasn't at Earth, that's completely irrelevant. Also, Tau isn't Tauri, as ADF points out. | |
| Jan 21, 2015 at 20:05 | comment | added | ApproachingDarknessFish | @Nerrolken Tau is a Greek letter and almost certainly does not refer to the constellation Taurus, from which Aldebaran gain is designation of Alpha Tauri ("brightest star in Taurus"). | |
| Jan 21, 2015 at 17:58 | comment | added | Nerrolken | Not an answer, but the real-world star Aldebaran is referred to as "Alpha Tauri," and is a multiple star system with a third star called "Alpha Tauri C." It is, however, only 65 light years away, so it's clearly not as far away as the fictional Tau Alpha C. | |
| Jan 21, 2015 at 17:26 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | It would travel the distance between the Enterprise and Tau Alpha C. | |

Made title more descriptive; fixed grammar typos.

| Jan 21, 2015 at 15:25 | comment | added | Jack B Nimble | 123 days seems like an odd time frame. Is there a reason it isn't 100 days or something else that feels more standard? | |
