just about beyond comprehension

So much of existence is unimaginable.  It's a pleasant surprise when discoveries such as this can be rendered as beautiful images.


I got this from NewScientistSpace:

Intergalactic particle beam is longest yet found - space - 07 December 2007 - New Scientist Space

Here's the lead paragraph: "An intergalactic particle beam stretching for more than a million light years is the longest ever seen. According to the team that discovered this record breaker, it could help reveal how such jets of matter bind themselves together."
