All ya gotta do is multiply 5.88 trillion times 93 billion.

Let's see now...

5,880,000,000,000 x 93,000,000,000 = 5,468,400,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles

Did I do that right? I think I got lost in all those zeroes.
According to Wolfram Alpha, 1 light-year = 5.879 trillion miles, so yeah,,, close enuf. 5.879 trillion times 93 billion actually = 546 sextillion miles, which is still an approximation.
