 No... the 60 lt.yr. figure is the correct one... think about it... the 
Universe is estimated to be 15 Billion years old. This means *if* we could see 
light from the Big Bang... it would lie at a distance of 15 Billion light 
years. The Trillion figure is *miles*... an increment of measure tiny 
earthlings can better relate to... at least until the numbers rise into 
trillions!
