Some math bits:
Diameter of the Milky Way: 170,000-200,000 Light Years.
1 AU = 149,600,000 kilometers or 1.496x10^8 kilometers.
1 light year = 9.467x10^12 kilometers.
1 light year = 9.467x10^12 km / 1.496x10^8 km per AU = 63,282 AU
Sol’s distance from center of Milky Way = 27,000 Light Years
ASKAP J173608.2-321635 is thought to be 4 degrees from center of the Milky Way. But we don’t know what direction. So at best one has to assume it is on the outer edge of a sphere with a radius of 4 degrees worth of AU centered in the Milky Way galaxy, where a sphere having a radius of 86 degrees worth of AU would be at the outer edge of the Milky Way galaxy, then (4/90) * (range of 85,000 – 100,000 LY) = 2,000 – 4,444 LY range from the Galactic center.
So I’m guessing Sol is 25,000 – 22,556 LY from ASKAP J173608.2-321635, or 1,582,050,000 to 1,427,388,792 AU from ASKAP J173608.2-321635.
Too far to travel unless one started very nearly following the origination of the Milky Way!
Thanks!
