   Did they go perpendicular or parallel to the spiral plane?   
      
   Well since the galaxy is 200,000 light years across, 300 light years is not   
   very far from it and nowhere near the next galaxy which is M31 or the   
   Andromeda galaxy at 2 million light years away or 613179.4201 parsecs or .6   
   megaparsecs.
