c * delta_t D = ---------------------- 0.73 x 10^(-13) 2.99792458 x 10^8 (m/s) * 0.15 s = ----------------------------------- 0.73 x 10^(-13) = 2.99792458 x 10^8 (m/s) * 2 x 10^(12) s = 6 x 10^(20) m = approx 63,000 light years Since the Milky Way extends only about 15,000 light years from our position, this implies that the FRB lies outside the Milky Way Galaxy. In fact, since the space between galaxies contains much less gas than the space inside galaxies, this is a gross underestimate of the distance to the source. It lies in a very, very distant galaxy.
