The galaxy, shown in this artist's impression, is 1-2% the Milky Way's mass.

An impression by an artist who, apparently, has never looked through a telescope, nor has any idea of what diffraction spikes are or how they are formed.

30 Billion light years away. According to wiki the universe is supposed to be 46 billion LY in radius. How can they know that if the universe is still expanding and our furthest measure is a mere 30 Billion LYs?
