Missing Zero?
Hi All,
Hmmm ...
The blurb that accompanied the picture had me with furrowed brows when I read it. Particularly:
"MACSJ0025 contains hundreds of galaxies, spans about three million light years, and lies ... "
How do hundreds of galaxies (even baby ones) fit within a space only 3Mly across (ie a little bigger than the distance from here to the nearest major external galaxy -- M31)? I suspect there is a zero or possibly even two zeros missing from the diameter figure here or have I got it wrong ... ?
Best,
Les D
