Error in Astrometry data
Good afternoon.

I noticed that the Astrometry section of the summary on the page for the object W43A lists its distance as 2.2 pc, citing the 2nd reference. A quick check on my part of the 2nd reference and the 4th reference indicates that W43A is mentioned to be 2.2 to 2.6 kiloparsecs (thousands of parsecs); additionally, a blog entry by Phil Plait at Syfy (https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/threading-a-cosmic-needle-a-fleeting-glimpse-of-a-dying-stars-final-moments) mentions that W43A is approximately 7,000 light years distance, which corresponds to the 2.6 kiloparsec distance. I therefore request that you edit the distance to read "2.22 (+0.38 -0.40) kpc".

Thank you.
