Galaxies: The 10 best photos taken by the Hubble telescope in outer space A light year is 5.865.696.000.000 miles long, which corresponds to roughly 6 trillion miles traveling during 1 year at the speed of light is 300,000,000 kms A light year corresponds to 9.460.800.000.000 kilometers, about 9.5 trillion kilometers away traveling the speed of light. For example: 1 light year is the same travel during 1 year at the speed of light is 300,000,000 kms. And after this whole year of travel you will have traveled 9.460.800.000.00 miles away. 1st-the Galaxy of Sombrero-distant 28 million light years from Earth-was voted best picture, captured by Hubble. The dimensions of this galaxy, officially called M104, has a spectacular appearance, with 800 billion Suns and a diameter of 50,000 light years. 2-the Ant Nebula, which is a cloud of cosmic dust and gas, whose technical name is Mz3, resembles an Ant when observed by telescopes. This Nebula, this far from our Galaxy, and the Earth, between 3,000 to 6,000 light years. 3rd-thirdly is the NGC2392 Nebula, called Eskimo because it resembles a face surrounded by hat or Beanie wrinkled. This hat is actually a ring formed by structures or disaggregated remains of dead stars. The Eskimo is 5,000 light years from Earth. 4th-4th place we have the cats eye Nebula, which has a
