I think they have the Sun located a bit too far towards the center of the galaxy.

Apparently the place for our Sun has moved since the ripple theory changes the dimensions of the galaxy....................

My guess is that they did this to show the new perspective of our solar system relative to the now-larger galaxy.

I think that is the point of the article. the sun is not as close to the edge as previously thought. the galaxy is bigger than previously mapped. however you want to look at it

I think we should get a photo of our galaxy from a galaxy far far away to how big it really is.
