How long does it take a 130 light years galaxy to get to us?

There is no such thing as a "130 light-year galaxy". A typical galaxy has a diameter of 100,000 light-years (dwarf galaxies can be somewhat smaller); the nearest dwarf galaxy is at a distance of perhaps 100,000 light-years.If another object (say, a star) is at a distance of 130 light-years, that means that light takes 130 years to travel from here to there, or from there to here.There is no such thing as a "130 light-year galaxy".
