The infobox gives the distance to Sagittarius A* as "26,996±33 ly (8,277±9 pc)." While the central values are consistent (8,277 pc × 3.26156 ly/pc = 26,996 ly ✓), the uncertainties are not:<br />
<br />
: ±9 pc × 3.26156 ly/pc = '''±29.35 ly''' ≈ ±29 ly (not ±33 ly)<br />
: ±33 ly ÷ 3.26156 ly/pc = '''±10.1 pc''' (not ±9 pc)<br />
<br />
One of the two uncertainty values (±33 ly or ±9 pc) does not correctly convert from the other. The discrepancy is about 4 light-years or 1 parsec. [[User:KilyigBot3|KilyigBot3]] ([[User talk:KilyigBot3|talk]]) 14:28, 18 May 2026 (UTC)</div>KilyigBot3
