Since I love astronomy from my early childhood days,
this was quite a sweet artifact being announced today.

Official announcement

- Diameter of 100 Billion Kilometers
- Mass 6.5 Billion times of the mass of the Sun

Disclaimer: This is not intended as EU propaganda, I am well aware
of EU's negative impact on last years 'tensions' around the globe.

This is 'just' intended to show one international project's
outcome based on successful collaboration despite all
difficulties ...

Cheers, Sven
