kpc

We detect an Ha filament emerging from the disc of NGC 4490 to a projected distance of 3 kpc which has counterparts in both the radio continuum and Hi.

The furthest distance ever stated in the literature is 1.55 kpc or 5600 light years.

The authors of the paper I noted above looked at at bipolar radio jets emitted by the quasar and suggested that one of these jets interacted with a nearby 17 kpc cloud of molecular gas.

The goal would be to examine, on a regular monthly basis, all the molecular clouds within about 2 kpc that lie along the galactic plane and Gould' s Belt for faint or previously invisible stars that had brightened up by a magnitude or more.

It is ashamed this object is so far away ~8-odd kpc. away, and the apparent size of the features is so small.

The cluster's distance is though to be about 3.2 kpc, as said in the Hubble site.

Some of the dust and gas from this galaxy probably contributed material that we see as a ring of stars 30,000 l.y.1 kpc from the nucleus.

For a sense of scale, the bluish starburst region to the upper left of the nucleus is reported to be 60% the size of the LMC ~3.2 kpc but two times brighter!

New Hubble Release: Dramatic Galaxy Collision | Universe Today 2009

I am thinking less of quantum cosmology than of something like a distant (kpc) X-Ray source that reliably produces a small fractional crab that (thanks to a detector and some audio gear) produces a lot of “pings” within range of our hearing when the X-Ray source is above our detector.
