An observatory in California, equipped with a mirror that has a diameter of 3.4 m is used to observe a distant galaxy in the Leo constellation which is about 44,000 light-years away from Earth. During this observation, green light with a wavelength of 550 nm is used. What is the distance of this galaxy as a multiple of Venus's distance from the Sun? Consider the distance from the sun to Venus is 108.2 million km.
