Brightest Galaxy in the Entire Universe

This picture was drawn by an artist. It shows us an up-close view of the winner of the Brightest Galaxy in the Entire Universe Award. Even though this galaxy is a thousand times brighter than our own Milky Way galaxy it’s impossible to take a detailed photograph, even with the most powerful telescope because it lies over 12 billion light years away.
