Thirty million light years away. So if we sent a robot-manned explorer vessel (built to last for eons) at one tenth the speed of light, it would take 300 million light years to get to one of those galaxies, and then another 30 million light years to report back.

300 million light-years * 0.1 speed of light = 30 million years (one way)

Light years are a measure of distance (Ie: the distance that light travels in one year) they are not a measure of time.

Oops that should be...

30 million light-years / 0.1 speed of light = 300 million years (one way)

Light years are a measure of distance (Ie: the distance that light travels in one year) they are not a measure of time.
