The second-largest galaxy in the Canes Venatici Groups was M51, a spiral galaxy 23 million light-years from the Milky Way Galaxy, with a diameter of roughly 70,000 light-years.
Third was M94, 16 million light-years from the Milky Way Galaxy, with a diameter of only 45,000 light-years and a core region spanning 30,000 light-years. It had once been a target Star System of The Great Voyage Organization. If not for the Level Seven Civilization Star Gate in the Andromeda Galaxy, The Great Voyage Organization would have passed through dozens of other Star Systems step by step before reaching M94, then continued toward its ultimate destination.
Naturally, they would also have passed through the Sunflower Galaxy, where they were now.
It could be said that the Level Seven Civilization's Star Gate had saved The Great Voyage Organization at least 150,000 years of travel time—perhaps even more, since normal travel would involve many constantly backtracking routes.
Although M94 and M51, along with M63—the Sunflower Galaxy, where The Great Voyage Organization was located—all lay within the Canes Venatici Groups, they were still extremely far apart.
Take M94, for example. Its distance from the Sunflower Galaxy was even greater than the distance between the Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy. M51 was comparatively closer, but it was still 8 million light-years away from the Sunflower Galaxy.
Yes, one was 29 million light-years from the Milky Way Galaxy, while the other was 23 million light-years away. But they were not aligned with the Milky Way Galaxy, so the distance between them could not be calculated by simply adding or subtracting their distances from it.
After The Great Voyage Organization successfully emerged from the Star Gate, its first move was to disperse a large number of probes to survey the Sunflower Galaxy. Some probed the interior
