IC 1101 size compared to the Milky Way
The size of IC 1101, the largest (visible) galaxy in the universe if we take into account the size of its halo, compared to that of the Milky Way. Its brightness is explained by the volume of its black hole and its number of stars.
Note: if one of the objects is not visible, it just means that it is too tiny to be displayed compared to the other one.
