Somewhere around 26,000 light-years.
It's a dwarf galaxy; the diameter is about 6500 light-years (according to information in the Wikipedia article).
Less than one. * The Milky Way (our galaxy) has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years. * According to the Wikipedia, the Canis Major galaxy is at a distance of 25,000 light-years from our Solar System. However, its status as a galaxy is disputed (in other words, it may not be a galaxy). * On the other hand, the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy is at a distance of about 70,000 light-years from the Solar System - still less than the diameter of our galaxy. Note that the distances given are from our Solar System; NOT from the center of our Milky Way.
Answer: 100,000 light years = 9.454e+17 km
ESO 510-G13 is a spiral galaxy approximately 150 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra See:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Warped_galaxy.jpg
8 billion light years means that the light has taken 8 billion years to reach you. That's how far into the past you are seeing.
25,000
Approximately 26,000 light years.
About 26,000 years
correct answer 26,000 A+
The Milky Way galaxy, in which we live, is about 50,000 light years in radius, and we're about 40,000 light years out from the center. So the farthest away stars are probably about 90,000 light years away.
Our solar system is estimated to be between 25,000 and 28,000 light years from the centre of our galaxy, the Milkyway.
The Andromeda Galaxy is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years from Earth; or from the Milky Way.
Our sun (also known as Sol) is about 80,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way galaxy. A light year is about seven trillion miles, so 80,000 light years is about 560 quadrillion miles.
23 million light-years.
The sun is estimated to be 24,900 ± 1,000 ly from the galactic centre.

The sun is one of the many stars in the milky way - our galaxy. Sol, our Suns name is about 25 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
