Newly Found Galaxy Markarian 348 Largest Ever Seen
Astronomers report Markarian 348, an isolated galaxy 300 million light-years away, is the largest known galaxy. It spans about 1.3 million light-years with a hydrogen cloud 13 times the Milky Way’s size and emits energy far exceeding a typical galaxy. Scientists note tidal gas dynamics from a nearby companion influence its structure. The finding is published in Science and supported by NSF.
