    So which was is the Delta quadrant in that image? Also, where does the other end of the wormhole pop out?

      The Delta Quadrants is not featured in that image, only the lower two quarters. Putting into context, that map is the lower blob in this:

        The Alpha-Beta blob should be shifted down a bit, and possibly shrunk. Earth is significantly closer to the galactic rim, on that arm that currently goes across the southern edge of the Alpha-Beta blob.

      The Sol system is ~26,000 light years from the center of the galaxy. The UFP is about 8000 light years distant according to Picard in First Contact. So the Delta quadrant would be ~9 times the distance that this maps shows away in the direction of the Romulans (Kathy and crew have to travel 70000 light years). That’s my best guess as I can’t find a reliable quadrant map.

        So, if they had had to take the long way home, would they have wound up stuck on the other side of the Romulans? I’m sure the Romulans would love the story about the Star Fleet ship just happened to end up on the other side of their border because of unexplainable godlike powers. That definitely wouldn’t cause any issues. I’m sure they’d have given Voyager safe passage back to the Federation

          Well the Romulan Government knew of Voyager and where they were because of that time Voyager contacted Admiral Forrest Telek R’mor through a micro wormhole into the past. Barclay even mentions that the Romulans were very interested in Voyager for some time.

      Delta and Gamma quadrants would be on the opposite side of the galactic center and aren’t pictured. I’m not sure whether they would be off the top or the bottom of the page, but that yellow line dividing the Alpha and Beta quadrants is also the line dividing Gamma and Delta.
