It sound odd, but that depends on what you mean by "now"[1]. If you mean, where would the galaxy be if I traveled there at the speed of light, you would actually travel less distance due to Length Contraction [2].

It sounds odd to interpret it like that and not as usually a layperson ignoring relativity&physical limitations would mean it?

"Now" as in if I could just teleport there!
