Who know the galaxy ?

About 10,000 light years from Earth who knows what the position of the Milky Way ?

At 10,000 light years from Earth, you are probably still in the Milky Way galaxy. If I understand the question. Good luck.

As Chris pointed out it refers to the galaxy we are in....so at 10,000 light years one would still be in it unless one went in the outward direction away from our solar system which is on the edge of the spiral arm; you might then clear the galaxy.

The question can't be answered unless you specify which trajectory you are traveling in.

What track are you referring to? I know some of the coordinates

Difficult question, Nasa! I suppose if one travelled perpendicular to the Milky Way's disk/wheel shape, still near or at about the edge of our galaxy. But if moving more parallel to the disk, you'd be well inside the Milky way.
