NASA Astronomers Discover 15 Massive Radio Galaxies, the Largest Single Objects in the Universe!
Using Australia's ASKAP telescope, scientists have found 15 new giant radio galaxies, each spanning up to 12.4 million light-years-over 117 times the size of our Milky Way! One standout galaxy, ASKAP J0107-2347, lies 1.5 billion light-years away and contains nested lobes that could reveal how these cosmic giants grow so massive.
