It is located in the nearby galaxy, Centaurus A which is about 11 million light years away from us.
​
How could you possibly know how far away that galaxy is? Radiocarbon dating isn't that accurate.

​
Note: I'm enjoying the frivolity a bit here, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested. This is a really cool story!
