IC 1101 is a supergiant lenticular galaxy at the center of the Abell 2029 galaxy cluster.
It has no other names apart from catalog designations of UGC 9752 and PGC 54167
IC 1101 is a giant lenticular galaxy at the centre of the Abell 2029 galaxy cluster.It contains about 100 trillion stars.For comparison, the Milky Way Galaxy contains about 200 billion stars.
IC 1101 is the largest known galaxy. It is 60 times larger than our own Milky Way and contains about 100 trillion stars.
IC1101 is by far the largest galaxy at 5 million ly in diameter
As of 2013, the largest known galaxy is IC 1101, which measures 6 million light years in diameter.
The biggest galaxy known is IC 1101: 6.000.000 light years. Regards, Esteven
The Milky Way galaxy is much smaller than the largest known galaxy in the universe, IC 1101. IC 1101 is about 6 million light-years in diameter, whereas the Milky Way is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter.
There are at least 100,000,000 sentient species in a fictionalized version of the IC 1101 galaxy (a supergiant elliptical galaxy 1000 million light-years from Earth, and is 6,000,000 light-years in diameter (210,000 in effective radius), and contains 100 trillion stars (each star is orbited by an average of 9 planets and 170 moons; as well as asteroids and nebulae)).
It's around 55 times wider than the milky way. Roughly 3,850,000,000,000,000,000 miles across.
The Andromeda Galaxy is not the largest galaxy in the universe, but it is one of the largest galaxies in our local group. The largest galaxy known is IC 1101, which is over 50 times the size of the Milky Way.
the biggest galaxy is IC 1101. 5.5 million light years in diameter and hosting 100 trillion stars it is moe than 50 times the size of the milky way and 2,000 times as massive
Yes.The only ones I know is IC 1101 and Messier 87.The Andromeda galaxy is twice the size of our Milky Way.The Andromeda is 260,000 light years across,while the Milky Way is 100,000 light years across.A light year is 5,878,499,812,499 miles.
IC-1101 is the largest galaxy known as of April, 2012. It will likely remain the largest known galaxy since our current telescopes, both terrestrial and extraterrestrial, have done numerous comprehensive searches of the universe. The same is of course true for the smallest, Willman 1. It's only the size of three football fields end-to-end. JUST KIDDING! Most often, Willman 1 is described by its mass, ~500,000 times that of our sun.
