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.

How long would it take to travel to another galaxy at the speed of light?

Traveling to another galaxy at the speed of light would take an incredibly long time. The closest galaxy to us, the Andromeda galaxy, is about 2.5 million light-years away. This means it would take 2.5 million years to reach Andromeda at the speed of light.


How long does it take light to travel from the Sun to the Andromeda Galaxy?

The light from our Sun will take about 2.5 million years to reach the Andromeda Galaxy.


How long would it take a light beam to go across a galaxy 50000 light years in diameter and return?

It would take 100000 years.


How long does it take light to cross the diameter of your Milky Way Galaxy?

About 100,000 years


How long does it take light to travel from one side of the galaxy to the other side?

Assuming you are referring to our Galaxy - The Milky Way. Light will take about 100,000 years to get from one side to the other.


How long would it take to get to the milky way galaxy?

Not long at all - as you/we are already in it. About 25,000 light years from the centre.


How long does it take loght to travel from the Andromeda galaxy to earth?

Light from the Andromeda galaxy takes approximately 2.5 million years to reach Earth. This distance is about 2.537 million light-years.


Are light years a measure of distanse or time?

Light years is actually a measure of distance expressed in time. For example, a galaxy is 1 light year long, which means it will take 1 year to reach that galaxy with the speed of light(c). This implies that the galaxy is c(m/year)*1 meters long.


How long would it take to cross the milkyway at an impossible speed of light?

About 100,000 years. (the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light years)


How long will it take for light to reach us from a galaxy 8 million light years away?

8 million years. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year.


How long does it take the sun to reach the Andromeda galaxy?

It takes around 2.5 million years for light from the Sun to reach the Andromeda galaxy, which is approximately 2.537 million light-years away from Earth.
