The animation shows how long it takes the starship 'Enterprise' in 'Star Trek' to reach Pluto at warp factors that break the known laws of physics.

In the sci-fi series"Star Trek," spaceships rapidly travel from one part of the universe to another using warp drive. The speed of light in a vacuum is about 186,282 miles per second . In"Star Trek," a warp factor of 1 is light-speed, and a warp factor of 9.9 is more than 2,000 times greater. But James O'Donoghue, a scientist at NASA, animated warp-speed velocities in the solar system using the"Enterprise" spaceship and posted the video to Twitter on Monday.
