Make sure to watch the video (in 4K) and see just how far away this galaxy is:

Mind blowing far.

Makes me wonder how they found this one. Did they just point it at one random place and happened to find this galaxy there, or did they have to look around for a long time.

If we take that telescope array and point it at a new random place will we just find another one of these galaxies in short order?
