Traveling this far is not possible with current technology. The time would depend
on the speed at which you travel: time = distance / speed. For example, if you
travel at a speed close to the speed of light, it will take 1200 years - even though
in such a case, for the traveler it would seem to take much less time (read about
"time dilation" for more details).

Answer #2: (same as Answer #1 with a few more details)
Just like any other trip, to school, the office, or the corner store, the time it takes
depends on the speed you travel at.
For 1,200 light years at . . .
The speed of light . . . 1,200 years
1 million miles per hour . . 804.74 million years
The speed of sound . . . 10.427 million centuries
60 miles per hour . . . . . 215.85 billion centuries (1,600 times how long it has been since the Big Bang)
If I can travel 450 miles in 2 hours, I can travel 450 ÷ 2 = 225 miles in 1 hour. As I can travel 225 miles in each hour, I can travel 1200 miles in: 1200 ÷ 225 = 51/3 hours = 5 hours 20 minutes.
You could travel by boat, or you could walk. Depends on where in the world you were.
1200 years.

12 months = 1 year so 1200 months = 1200/12 = 100 years. Simple!
Evan if a star burned out you wouldn't be able to tell from earth only because how ever many light years away it is its how many years back in time your seeing it at, because it is so far away in space. FOR EXAMPLE if a star was 1200 light years away your looking at it from earth 1200 years ago because it takes the light a long time to travel from space to earth.

Since PGC 169337 is a spiral galaxy 1200 million light years from us, it will take 1200 million years for the message to reach its intended designation (and an additional 1200 million years for any reply from an alien civilization).
Radio signals travel at (essentially) the speed of light, as they are electromagnetic waves like light. Sound waves travel at roughly 1200 km/h. Now you have enough information to answer your own question.
There are 631,152,000 minutes in 1200 years.
1200 divided by h times s
Betelgeuse is about 600 light years from us. A light year is about 5,878,630,000,000 miles. So to travel there and back would be a journey of about 7,054,356,000,000,000 miles. Nothing can go faster than light and we cannot come anywhere close to going as fast as light. At the speed of light a round trip would be 1200 years. Even if we went at 25,000 miles per hour it would take us over 32 million years to get there and back.
At 1,200 mph, it would take about 20,833 hours and 20 minutes OR about 2.4 years to travel 25 million miles.
If I can travel 450 miles in 2 hours, I can travel 450 ÷ 2 = 225 miles in 1 hour. As I can travel 225 miles in each hour, I can travel 1200 miles in: 1200 ÷ 225 = 51/3 hours = 5 hours 20 minutes.
It depends whether it is BC or AD If it was BC it was 1200 years before Christ If it was AD it was 1200 years after Christ
3210 years ago add 1200 to the current Year 2010. 1200 +2010 ______ 3210
No, it is not normal.
