Location of WR104 star in your galaxy?

What is the current status of the WR104 star system and its potential impact on Earth?
The WR104 star system is currently stable and poses no immediate threat to Earth. However, it is a binary star system with one star potentially capable of producing a gamma-ray burst that could affect Earth if it were to align with our planet. This alignment is not expected to occur in the near future, but it is a potential risk to be monitored.
High mass star death?
Stars like R136a1, the most massive star known, go hypernova, but fail to leave behind even a black hole. A supernova remnant on steroids would be what is left. Stars like VY Canis Majoris, which are less massive, also conclude their lives with a hypernova, but produce a black hole, which fires intense gamma ray bursts. We could be in the gun barrel of WR104, which has an axis which seems to point right towards us.
