I know is old but....

Thanks to data from ESA?s XMM-Newton X-ray satellite, a team of international scientists found a comet-like ball of gas over a thousand million times the mass of the Sun hurling through a distant galaxy cluster at over 750 kilometres per second.

This colossal 'ball of fire' is by far the largest object of this kind ever identified.
The gas ball is about three million light years across, or about five billion times the size of our solar system. It appears from our perspective as a circular X-ray glow with a comet-like tail nearly half the size of the moon.

how would you see a tail half the size of the moon on a comet five billion times the size of our solar system? That's like spotting a virus on a watermelon.

 

[Kula Meenur]

Wow. We're boned

Heh I thought the same thing, but I think it's just worded badly:
"It appears from our perspective as a circular X-ray glow with a comet-like tail nearly half the size of the moon"

Soo does this mean that if we were able to see it with the naked eye, we would see a little dot with a tail about half the diameter of the moon(as you view it from the sky)??

 

[DEATHMASTER]

What would happen if we found out that thing was to hit us (obviously vaporize) in a year. Anarchy!

 

[WacK]

Lol a giant fart in the universe.. Hopefully teh alienz gets pwned first.

 

[AJ Rimmer]

[Cormeh]

Jeez..... the mind boggles at this kind of stuff. It's all very fascinating, though.
