The speed of light doesn't travel anywhere. However, light itself, traveling through

vacuum at the speed of light, covers 1 quintillion miles in about 170,108 years.

That's less than 7 percent of the distance to the nearest galaxy.

(Note: The American definition of 'quintillion' is used . . . 1 x 1018 .

Using the British definition of the same word (1030), the answer is

the same, only 1 trillion times bigger.)
