“about 22,200 light-years away from Earth”

Awesome pic, thanks for posting. RE the distance, I can’t even comprehend 1 light year, let alone more than 22,000 light years.

Agree. ‘Boggles the mind’ is a most appropriate term. I never get bored thinking about the distances and the size of some of these objects. Earth in comparison is a like an atom or molecule out here spinning like a top in a giant rotating pinwheel of stars. I find it all fascinating.
