Astronomers have discovered an extraordinary new giant radio galaxy with plasma jets 32 times the size of our Milky Way.

Hubble revealed a universe of galaxies that existed beyond ours — but he couldn't have done it without a little help.

the Andromeda Galaxy will collide with the Milky Way, resulting in a spectacular cosmic collision! Don’t worry, though – the distances between stars are vast, so we won’t feel a thing.
