About IC 1101
The light we see from it set out 1.05 billion years ago, when the universe was 12.7 billion years old (redshift 0.0767).
The map lists it as a galaxy and shows it at the scale of the large-scale universe, drawn on the supergalactic plane.
One of the largest known galaxies, about 1.7 million light-years across (figures of 4 million are overestimates).
