Three Ways to Travel at (Nearly) the Speed of Light

05.29.2019
Light travels at a blistering 670 million mph — a speed that’s immensely difficult to achieve and impossible to surpass. But some particles are being accelerated to incredible speeds, some even reaching 99.9% the speed of light. Studying these superfast particles can help protect missions exploring the solar system.
