Located 27,000 light years from Earth, its existence has been assumed since 1974'

Indeed, 27,000 'units' away would be far more accurate. Because our perception and measurement of temporal distance is still very earthbound and limited, I guess?

Four million times bigger than our Sun and 27,000 light years away, these numbers are hard to comprehend. If any part of this was visible on Earth the image would have started its journey to your eye 27,000 years ago.

9.5 trillion kilometres times 27,000 = a very long way.

Kinda scary not knowing whats in there and how tiny we are in comparison.

Oh, if only such evidence would make earths war-addicts realise the relative pettiness of human conflict on our little rock called earth.
