    I saw this article and thought it was cool to share.  I mean, science has figured out the actual size of our galaxy?  That's cool!  Read the article here:  Science News.


    In this image from the Fermi space telescope, the Milky Way's stellar disk, which runs horizontally along the middle, glows in gamma rays. A vast halo of dark matter engulfs the disk and emits no light at all, which makes measuring the galaxy’s total size a challenge.
