100 ly years is actually kind of far. It is farther than most of our named stars. I wouldn't consider it 'nearby'.

In space that is nearby.

That was my point, Human scale vs astrophysical scale.

100 ly is not in our local intersteller neighborhood. It is 3x farther than even Arcturus.

Good thing I never said it was.
