10¹⁷ meters = 100,000,000,000,000 kilometers

You've arrived at a distance of about ten light-years from your backyard. The sun's nearest neighbors live here; a community of eleven stars.

Closest to the sun is Proxima Centauri—or at least that's what we humans call it. If there's anybody living in the P. Centauri system, they probably have a different name for their star. Actually, we should say their stars. All of the stars here—except the sun—are multiple stars. Each has a companion star locked with it in a dance of gravity.
