It is believed to be about 165 light years distant, which makes its diameter about 250,000,000 miles. Only one larger star, Antares, has been measured.* Therefore, if the centre of Mira were where the center of our Sun is, the orbit of the Earth would be some 25,000,000 miles inside the surface of Mira...

From this date, he calculated the distance from the earth to those stars as 930,000 light years,* or about five and a half quintillion (5,500,000,000,000,000,000) miles.
