Astronomers have discovered the largest radio galaxy ever, stretching at least 16 million light-years through space, new research shows.
The galaxy — named Alcyoneus after the son of Ouranos, the Greek primordial god of the sky — was discovered about 3 billion light-years from Earth by a "stroke of luck," according to a statement from Leiden University in the Netherlands.

Could you just imagine what type of life exist outside this galaxy? This is amazing. Hopefully they will be friendly to humans and not view us as food

The more I hear about new discoveries of different galaxies, the more It make me realize just how vast the universe is. How can anyone still believe that we are the only intelligent form of life?

Was this discovery before NASA released the pictures of 5 galaxies captured by the James Webb telescope or after the pictures were released. The new discoveries have made me think that God actually exist.
