Help with star distance numbers needed.?

I'm uming you live in the US, though if you live in another English speaking country you can check my link to see how a British scientist might pronounce the number. In the US, it is read as 13 quintillion 500 quadrillion miles. In the scientific community, it would probably be put in to the metric system and then converted to scientific notation. You could read it in scientific notation as 1.35 x 10^19 miles (read as 1.35 times 10 to the 19th miles). Finally, I think a practical way to read the distance would be to convert it to a meaningful astronomical unit, such as the AU or the light year (the distance it would take light to travel one year). If you convert your number, you get 2,296,504 light years. This is a very long distance indeed as our entire galaxy, the Milky Way, is only about 100,000 light years across. So, if you look thru that telescope, you can see over 2 million years into the past, the light just now reaching Earth.
