Speed of light, 299 792 458 mps, So traveling for 34 years = (34 x 365.242) days which is (34 x 365.242 x 24) hours which is (34 x 365.242 x 24 x 60 x 60) seconds. Now distance = velocity x time so light will travel: (34 x 365.242 x 24 x 60 x 60)s x (299792458)mps Add to this the radius of Planet X (presuming the 34 million light year measurement was taken from the surface) (34 x 365.242 x 24 x 60 x 60)s x (299792458)mps + (10^9 m)/2 = distance of Y to center of X
