1 light second is approx.. 300,000 Km
1 light minute is approx . 300,000 x 60 Km
1 light hour is approx. 300,000 x 60 x 60 Km
1 light day is approx. 300,000 x 60 x 60 x 24 Km
1 light year is approx. 300,000 x 60 x 60 x 24 x 365 km.
I have read that some distant galaxies are at least 1,000 light years across.
Therefore that distance would be approx.: 1,066,530,000,000,000 km.
or One thousand and sixty six trillion, five hundred and thirty billion km.
Just interesting. Time on my hands …...

Saw a space ship whilst out night hunting (rabbits) back in the 70s. As big as the MCG, circa 500 feet up and moving at circa 100kmph. Took several minutes to fly right over my head Defied the laws of gravity and all known laws of physics A perfect triangular shape with red and green lights. This from a man of science with authored books in the Royal Zoological Society Library of London. I can remember at the time thinking, "man, I'm going to be probed." Funny the things we think
