A long standing problem in the study of planetary nebulae is that their distances are generally not well known. Many methods for estimating distances to planetary nebulae rely on making general assumptions, which may be very inaccurate for the object concerned.
On this basis, the approximate distance is 3,300 light years
The Horsehead Nebula (also Barnard 33) is a dark nebula in the constellation Orion
It is approximately 1,500 light years from us.
3000 light years from Earth. It is a fascinating and beautiful Nebula resembling the Eye of Sauron from LOTR! Hope this helps.
The Eskimo Nebula (NGC 2392 or Clownface Nebula), is a planetary nebula in the constellation Gemini.
It is located approximately 2,870 light years from us.
It has a diameter of approximately 4 parsecs (13 light-years) and a total mass of about 250 solar masses. 13 light years = 7.64204976 × 1013 miles
Yes, a nebula is far larger than a neutron star. A neutron star is a few miles across. A nebula is light years across.
Approximately 6,500 light years..... or roughly 38,210,983,480,800,000 miles !
No. A neutron star is quite small, generally only a few miles across. A nebula is light years across.
A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen and helium gas and plasma. A Nebula can be over 2.5 million light years across. The largest star is a mere 1.7 billion miles in diameter
light travels 5,878,630,000,000 miles in a year.

According to Wikipedia, it is at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light-years. I leave it to you to convert that to miles. It's probably better to leave that in light-years or convert to parsec.
Yes, a solar nebula is much larger than a neutron star. In terms of objects in space, neutron stars are tiny; only a few miles across. A stellar nebula such as the one that formed the sun is light years across.
Approximately 3.82 × 1016 miles. The Crab Nebula is approximately 6,500 light years away from earth.To get a rough estimateKnowing that light travels at 186,000 mps (miles per second), you need to convert the speed of light into mpy (miles per year), which is about 5.8 trillion miles/year. Then multiply by the number of light-years.(The equation would be 186,000*60*60*24*365.25, then times 6500.)This is about 3.815 x 1016.

They travel to the speed of light? to it? and where exactly is the speed of light?
It depends on the horse.
How long it takes to go 40 miles in a horse drawn carriage will depend on how fast the horse is. The weight of the carriage and occupants will also impact the speed of the horse. A horse drawn carriage usually averages about 5 miles per hour so it would take 8 hours to go 40 miles.
