Estimated to be around 10-60 billion solar masses, going out 300,000LY
or even more. Still not enough mass to account for the Dark Matter
problem, but taking out a sizable chunk of it from our requirements. 10
billion solar masses is about the size of the LMC itself, so there's
enough mass out there to make another LMC to another 6 LMC's.

I wonder if that make an Alcubiere warp drive more feasable between galaxies.
