The Biggest Galaxy We’ve Discovered: And It's Bigger Than Your Imagination!

The biggest galaxy ever discovered makes the Milky Way look tiny. In this episode of Space Socials, we explore Alcioneus — a colossal radio galaxy stretching over 16 million light-years across. Discovered in 2022 using the LOFAR radio telescope network, Alcioneus challenges everything we thought we knew about how galaxies grow. How can a relatively ordinary galaxy produce structures larger than anything we’ve ever seen? And how does it compare to giants like IC 1101? We break down: How astronomers measure galaxy size The difference between stellar size and radio lobes Why Alcioneus shouldn’t be this big What dark energy means for the largest structures in the universe Whether something even bigger could still be hiding in deep space If you love space documentaries, cosmic scale comparisons, and mind-bending astronomy explained clearly — this one’s for you.
