    The speed of light could then be expressed exactly as c 0 = 299,792,458 m/s, a standard also adopted by the IERS numerical standards. [19] From this definition and the 2009 IAU standard, the time for light to traverse an astronomical unit is found to be τ A = 499.004 783 8061 ± 0.000 000 01 s , which is slightly more than 8 minutes 19 seconds.
