How far is Earth from Golarion?

We know Earth exists in the same universe from Pathfinder, but how far is it? I'm guessing in another galaxy. I noticed this page: https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Galaxy lists the "Milk Spiral" as a galaxy visible from Golarion. Could this be the Milky Way? If so it must be (relatively) close if it can be seen with a medieval era telescope.


They touch on it in some adventure paths and setting books, but yes, in another galaxy, but one visible with a telescope.


Golorion is in the local group. Probably Andromeda or the Triangulum.

Hm.
I was going to say "Probably less than 40-some billion light-years" (our universe is 13.8 billion years old, but inflation kinda did some odd things). But I didn't know that each was visible by telescope.

The only two hefty galaxies in the Local Group are our Milky Way and Andromeda (larger than us but maybe less massive), with the remaining fifty-plus galaxies being much smaller (Magellanic Clouds, etc). So it'd be two and a half million light years if it's in Andromeda?

(I have no guess at all about the Androffans!)
