Roughly 2.4 million light years (the distance light would tavel in a year) and is also a neighbor along with our Galaxy and a Local Group of Galaxies in our regien of space.

Don't worry, the distance between the stars is so vast, that even a collision with a galaxy much bigger than our, head on, wouldn't mecessarirly be felt in our regeon that earth is located on within the Milky Way, (the "habbitable zone, located approximately two thirds out from the center) so you have it.
