yes . It is complicated. Think of our galaxy as one dimple in the middle of a Golf ball. It is surrounded by all the other dimples. Now, turn the ball over and select a new dimple. It WAS farthest away from us but now IT is in the middle and our galaxy is farthest away. Professional astronomers will tell you that each and every galaxy is in the middle of each and every other galaxy. I know this does not make much sense, but that is how it really is, to the best of our present knowledge...I told you it was complicated!
