Answer:

25,800 light-years

Step-by-step explanation:

The new map suggests that the center of the Milky Way and the black hole which sits there is located 25,800 light-years from Earth.

This is closer than the official value of 27,700 light-years adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1985.
