What we call falling stars are really just pieces of space debris or rock burning up as they enter the earth's atmosphere, so they are comparatively not very far away. We see it almost as it happens.

How long does it take to travel 600 light years?
It really depends on your speed. If you were traveling at the speed of light, it would take 600 years. 600 light years equals 3,527,175,223,910,165 miles. So divide that by the speed you would be traveling to get the length of time it would take you.

Is the M87 galaxy 54 million light years away?
It doesn't make much sense to talk about something being 52 light-years away from a galaxy: A typical galaxy has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years, and doesn't have a clearly-defined border. Distances between galaxies are hundreds of thousands, or millions, of light-years.It doesn't make much sense to talk about something being 52 light-years away from a galaxy: A typical galaxy has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years, and doesn't have a clearly-defined border.

How many Au is 1000 light years?
They really are not comparable. Light travels 186,000 miles per second, and one AU is about 8.3 light-MINUTES. You can probably do the math, from minutes to hours to days to years as well as I can. Or, you could google "1000 light years in AU" and get the answer
How old is something 11.7 million light years?
Light years measure distance, not age. So this can't really be answered, like asking "How old is 11.7 kilometers?"

How many light years away is your sun?
The sun is not light years away but light minutes and the sun is 8 (rounded) light minutes away from us. But if you really want to know how far away the sun is from us in light years it is 0.000015 of a light year away from us.

Evidence against the world being billions of years old?
There really is no evidence against the world being billions of years old, mainly because we've proven that the earth IS billions of years old.
If a galaxy appeared to be 8 billions years old how far would it have to be located to see it as its is being described?
Eight billions light years. Because that is how long it takes for light to reach us from there.
