https://astro.ucla.edu/~wright/CosmoCalc.html https://astro.ucla.edu/~wright/CosmoCalc.html says this galaxy is ~1.1 Gly, so "not exactly close" whatever that means on a cosmic scale. Intriguingly, this event took place when life on Earth barely existed at all...
Edit: at 1,5x10¹¹ solar masses, the galaxy is not at all small (and neither are the BH involved!!!) it's in the same ballpark of the Milky Way.
