Well, I can't say that I'd characterize the change from 27,700 light-years down to 25,800 light-years as "a whole lot closer", percentage-wise. "A whole lot closer" would be, like, 15,000 or less. But hey, whatever.
I'm very glad for the correction, nevertheless, because being off by 1900 light-years is nothing to sneeze at.

The only black hole I am worried about right now is the one created by the democrats.

I know a short cut. Save 1700 light years easy.

That does it. Naming galaxies after candy bars just has to stop.

Earth getting sucked into a black hole would be the cherry on top to finish 2020.

Nothing for me to worry about so I am giving a crap how? /s
I’ll be long long long long long long long dead and gone before anything occurs from being ‘closer’ than we thought....

Love to see some humble honesty about unsettled science. I never trusted the parallax method for distance to stars.
