Passage Through The Nebulina

Poul Anderson, Tau Zero, CHAPTER 8.

"Velocity had flattened the cloud longitudinally, it was thin, [the ship] tore through in minutes." (p. 76)

"During the hour of [the ship's] passage, it bored a tunnel through the nebulina." (ibid.)

Minutes is ship's time whereas the hour is cosmic time. Leonora Christine begins her cosmic journey.
