This article has a problem with the number of significant digits listed for the radio lobe sizes. The sizes in light-years are listed with 4 or 5 significant digits of precision, which is definitely not justified based on the actual measurements. Probably 2 or at most 3 significant figures are warranted in most cases. The number of significant figures should match what’s in the published sources and should be consistent between the Mpc and light-year columns.

:So are you suggesting that it shouldn’t be rounded? [[User:Orangefanta120|Orangefanta120]] ([[User talk:Orangefanta120|talk]]) 01:13, 6 December 2025 (UTC) |
