>> Not only do the results extend the size of the Milky Way
Srsly?
Our fuzzy math is able to “extend the size” of one of the countless galaxies YHWH created?
Excuse me while I laugh at the arrogance of science writers.
Here’s how it REALLY is... “Scientist change their feeble GUESS of the size of YHWH’s galaxy.”
Astronomers can quite easily calculate the distance to stars, particularly within our own galaxy. The only question prior to this size update was whether or not that outer ring should be considered part of the galaxy. They apparently now believe it is.
Oh, for crying out loud. If you believe the claim is that they have extended the actual physical size of the galaxy, you "srsly" need a reading lesson.
