Gigantic fireball spotted on galactic rampage | The Register

"Astronomers have identified a massive comet-like structure - spanning a whopping
three million light years - that is tearing through a distant galaxy cluster at more
than 750 kilometres a second.

Yes, you read that right. A great ball of fiery gas*, some five thousand million
times the size of the solar system. Fortunately, it isn't anywhere near Earth. The
flaming gas-ball is in the Abell 3266 galaxy cluster, even more millions of light
years away from us than it is across."
