We can’t compare anything on earth to the biggest things known in space. The Lymann Alpha blob is a bubble like structure containing countless galaxies – perhaps the biggest object in the entire universe.

Regions of radio-emitting gas called “radio lobes” could be even bigger. Then there are super galaxy clusters which are hundreds of galaxies merged together due to cosmic collisions.

Discover which is the largest planet, star, star cluster, constellation, black hole, volcano, galaxy, explosions, moon, storm, impact crater and “void” in space.

I guess it is more likely for us to find the needle in the haystack than even begin to comprehend how big the haystack actually is! *g*

And we've called it a 'blob'.

Isn't that like saying 'Bump Everest' or 'Niagara Dribble'?

I wonder if space would change if thought were to see it another way? I mean math will have to change to accommodate the vastness (I don't know if I have explained this very well).

So, ultimately, the Universe is disc shaped.
