heal.abstract	We discuss possible tests of the constancy of the velocity of light usingdistant astrophysical sources such as gamma-ray bursters (GRBs), ActiveGalactic Nuclei (AGNs) and pulsars. This speculative quest may be motivated bysome models of quantum fluctuations in the space-time background, and wediscuss explicitly how an energy-dependent variation in photon velocity \deltac/ c \sim - E	en
