You can do the rest of the maths im sure and no it wasnt even remotely obviouse what you wanted to know in the OP

just so you know speed of light is roughly 671 million MPH
or 25,000 years to nearest galaxy at the speed of light.
As technically arcurate as your answers may be, it still doesn't answer the question about how far in miles 6 million light years is
