Astronomers have discovered a new galaxy that is 16.3 million light years across that has been named the Alcyoneus. That is a size difference larger than Earth to Jupiter.
Fuck yeah, Gundam SEED is coming back!

Its the Galaxy's Radio's emission which is different than a Galaxy's size. Centerus a have over a million light year long emission, but the size of the galaxy is similar to ours. Around 100 000 light year size. ALso that emission and signal is aprroximately 3 billion years ago. There is a good chance that galaxy does not exist anymore.
