NGC 7016

NGC 7016 is an elliptical or lenticular galaxy located about 480 million Light-years away from Earth in the constellation Capricornus.[2][3] NGC 7016's calculated velocity is 11,046 km/s.[3] NGC 7016 has an estimated diameter of about 140 thousand light years. NGC 7016 was discovered by American astronomer Francis Preserved Leavenworth on July 8, 1885.[4]

Physical Characteristics

NGC 7016 is one of two prominent radio galaxies in the galaxy cluster Abell 3744 along with the double galaxy system NGC 7018.[5]

gollark: There would be significant legal issues and also quite likely damage to the box.
gollark: Maybe you would be better off using quantum field theory. Except that doesn't have gravity/general relativity, only special relativity, so you should work out how to unify those?
gollark: We can just say in the technical and artistic merit video that "the robot's projectile trajectory handling maths has relativistic corrections in it and would thus be equipped to fire projectiles near the speed of light, if we actually needed that, had a way to accelerate things that fast, could do so without destroying everything, did not have interactions with the air to worry about, and could safely ignore quantum effects".
gollark: If you really want to you can apply special relativity, sure.
gollark: I don't *think* we need to consider air resistance significantly.
