"650,000 light years across" is not "1,000 times the diameter of the Milky Way" - it is 6 1/2 times the diameter of the Milky Way — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.71.43.37 (talk) 16:40, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What about the actual image?

There's a recent image of Malin 1 that's 2k in size. Why is there an artist rendering that clearly does not reflect the now visible rings around the core? And it has two huge galactic jets. This article could use a little work!

"Observations by Galaz, et al., in April 2014 revealed a detailed view of the spiral structure of Malin 1 in optical bands. The galaxy exhibits giant and very faint spiral arms, with a thickness of up to one-third the diameter of the Milky Way. Other details, such as possible stellar streams and formation regions, are revealed as well"

Pictures are worth a thousand words? Can we get rid of the outdated artist's rendering? 162.219.204.36 (talk) 07:20, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
