    Yep, that's right. With z : 0.137 and size ~4' so the real size is ~550 Kpc

    So, #giant? What do you think, Dolorous Edd?

    And the host, such strong forbidden emission lines! And so high energy photons (or shocks) necessary to excite them (the two emission peaks blue-ward of the [OII] doublet are [NeVI] 3427 and [NeV] 3347)! From the spectrum, I'm wondering why the host doesn't appear bluer/greener; why isn't this a (low-z) #green object?

    Great find, 1001G! 😃

    I remember this one

    So, #giant?

    Technically no, has to be = or > 1Mpc to be formally a giant

    Looks cool though
