Weird way to phrase it. Like, people know what the Milky way is, I hope.
Bigger than Earth’s galaxy? Until this moment, I have never heard nor read the Milky Way referred to as “Earth’s galaxy”.
I read that as being 32 times bigger than Earth. Like a galactic terrarium or something.
Misleading title. The galaxy is not 32x the Milky Way. The plasma jets are.
>>The plasma jets of this cosmic giant span 3.3 million light-years from end to end – over 32 times the size of the Milky Way.
32 times bigger? Big whoop. Tell me when they find a galaxy a million times larger.
What the fuck is up with the way this is worded?
Um. Galaxy of America. I’m sure the extraterrestrials won’t mind.
Until we discover a different species out there, I’m going to pull the old British method and say that *all* the galaxies are Earth’s galaxies.
On a real note though, this article is just… bad. I get that university students are students, but damn have somebody read that over. “Like a rave over our heads”?
Great work to the team contributing to the study of these galaxies, wish there was a paragraph or two for them instead of the rave.
The post titles are getting noticeably worse around here.
Earths galaxy. That’s even more hubris than the Gulf of America…
Comparison is the thief of joy. Not everything has to be the biggest Earth, sometimes it’s the motion in the ocean that gets the job done, you should know, you have several…
Excuse me wut
Misleading anyway they’re talking about the jets
