In an article entitled Expanding our world we are provided with some insight into the ways of astronomical scientists:
Prof Joss Bland-Hawthorn used a new hi-tech telescope to look at the edges of a similar, close galaxy called NGC 300.
"We found NGC 300 is twice the diameter we thought it was before. Therefore we would imagine that our own galaxy is twice as big as currently believed," he said.
Closer to home this might interpret as "I was looking in Google Earth and was surprised to see that New York is a lot bigger than I thought it was. Therefore I can imagine that Melbourne is a lot bigger than we thought". I hope, for our sake as taxpayers who pay his salary, that Bland Joss Hawthorn was misquoted.
