"Light-year" is NOT a unit of time. It is a unit of length or distance - the distance light travels in a year.

Interpret the following Astronomy is the science of looking into the past?

Most observed stars and galaxies lie many many light years away from Earth. As a result, say for a star that is 5 light years away from Earth, the light we see coming from that star today or tonight was actually emitted 5 years ago from that star. Now imagine a star thousands of light years away, the light that we observe took thousands of years to travel to Earth and therefore carry an image thousands of year old.

How far is in miles the furthest star?

It is impossible to know how far the furthest star is, since it can't be seen. The universe is said to be aprox 13.8 billion years old, it would be logical to assume that is how far it is in light years. 13.8 billion light years x 5.88 trillion miles per light years is pretty far. The sun is the closest star at 93 million miles. The next closest is, Proxima centauri which is 4.24 light years or 24.925 trillion miles away.
