maths bods
the galaxy ic1011 is 6,000,000 light years across
our galaxy is a mere 100,000 light years across
light travels at 186,000 miles per second
there are 31,536,000 seconds in a year
my calculator doesn't have numbers that big so can someone work this out please?
cheers

though it was fairly obvious as to what i wanted to know, but just in case it wasn't:
how far (in miles) is 6,000,000 light years? given that light travels at 186,000 miles in a second and there are 31,536,000 seconds in a year?
the numbers have been rounded to make the maths easier
and how far (in miles) is 500,000 light years?

PassionFord Post Whore!!
one "light year" is the amount of distance traveled by something traveling at the speed of light for one year
so at the rate of 186,000 MPS you would cover 5865696000000 miles in one year
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.

35,194,176,000,000,000,000 miles
so what do you call them numbers because that's how big the biggest galaxy that's been discovered so far is across it's width
and that's in space somewhere and space is HUGE and approx 13,000,000,000 light years across
we're going to need a bigger alculator
