The largest galaxy in the observable universe. It has a mass of about 100 trillion stars. Making it roughly 250-500 times larger than our own Milky Way galaxy!
The observable universe is only about 0.25% of the whole universe, also. So there may be even bigger undiscovered galaxies out there.

If you were to live in an Earthlike world around IC 1101, there would be approx. 250 stars in the Nightsky there, for every one star that you’d see at night here on Earth. That’s a whole lot of stars!
