IC 1101 is absolutely mind-blowing! 🌌💫 Being the largest known galaxy, with a diameter of around 6 million light-years, really puts things into perspective about the vastness of the universe. The fact that it’s 60 times larger than our own Milky Way is just wild! It’s fascinating to think about what else is out there in the cosmos.
