Some early BBC publicity placed Skaro within Earth's galaxy, but most fans and authors agree that the Daleks' homeworld is located in another galaxy altogether. Dialogue in "Terror of the Autons" indicates that Gallifrey may lie within this galaxy, but the designation of Mutter's Spiral first given in "The Dealy Assassin," and a location of "250 million light-years away" given in the 1996 television movie both indicate that Gallifrey is also located elsewhere in the Universe.
