he title for the biggest galaxy known to man is IC 1101.
It has a radius of 1.9569 million light years which absolutely dwarfs our Milky Way’s radius of only 52,850 light years. And is around 12.31 billion years old.
This supergiant elliptical galaxy is located 320 megaparsecs (1.05 billion light-years) from Earth. It’s also pretty damn heavy (no surprise) as it has a mass of around 100 trillion stars.
