Distance from Earth

Looking around, there seems to be a lot of confusion about the actual distance from earth. Some sites say around 28Mly, some say 50Mly. I don't know what is correct, but since the source of this images says 50Mly, I'll leave it like this until it's sorted out. I'll make a list bellow of the various sources that refer to 28Mly and 50Mly respectively. –Tryphon^☂ 10:01, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
