A lightyear is the distance that light travels in a year. Light travels 186,000 miles every second. So in one year light travels: 186,000 x 60 x 60 x 24 x 365 = 5,868,696,000,000 miles, and in 72 years: 422,330,112,000,000 miles.

∙ 14y agoIf a light year is 9.5 trillion kilometers, then 8.7 lightyears would be 9.5 trillion kilometers x 8.7 lightyears.
8.7x9.5=82.65
8.7 lightyears are 82.65 trillion kilometers away.

The Wikipedia article also has links to other nearby stars.
Note that probably not all stars at that distance have been discovered - some are very faint. It is even speculated that there may be an unknown companion to our Sun (the "Nemesis" hypothesis).

What type of star is Iota Virginis?

How far away is the constallation cygnus away from earth?
I don't know how far away Cygnus is from in miles or kilometres, but I do know that it is so far away from Earth that the light that we see from it is over 2000 years old. Seeing as 1 light year is around 9 and a half trillion kilometres, it would mean that Cygnus is INCREDIBLY far away from Earth. Cygnus can only be seen from telescopes on Earth. Even then, it is incredible to know that it can be seen at all since it's so far away. On that note, Cygnus is 70, 000 times brighter than our Sun. Yep, seventy thousand times brighter. Hope this helped!

A white dwarf is a former?
White dwarfs are no longer undergoing fusion, so while they are initially very hot ... white-hot, in fact ... they slowly cool and eventually become black dwarfs, completely burnt-out stars. We don't know of any black dwarfs, because by definition they don't emit light and because the universe isn't old enough for any stars to have cooled that far yet. It's estimated based on known physics that it would take about a million billion (1015)years for a white dwarf to cool to the temperature of the cosmic background radiation, and possibly longer than that if WIMPs or proton decay exist.

How far is the Taurus constollitaion from the sun?
Each constellation is made of stars that are all approximately in the same direction as seen from Earth. That does not mean they are grouped together in 3D space. The bright star in Taurus is Aldebaran, which is 60-70 light years away and about 100 times brighter than the Sun. The Pleiades is an open cluster that is in Taurus, about 500 light-years away, and the brightest star in the Pleiades, Alcyone, is 2-3 times brighter than Aldebaran.
