The Great Barrier

A new arm of the Milky Way galaxy has been discovered, which the quoted scientist says is a “gas border,” 60,000 light years out from the center, “at the furthest reaches of the galaxy.”

Sounds to me like they’ve found the Great Barrier at the edge of the galaxy. Better not steer too close.
