These are entire <em>galaxies</em>. Hundreds of millions or billions of stars each! Each one has billions of planets. Some with long rotations, some with short ones. As for the length of the orbits of these galaxies - well, there's no one central high-gravity object for them to orbit around, like a planet orbits around a star. They're all whipping around in various different orbits at weird angles to each other, rotating around a common "center of mass." Planets?

The article itself is great, I loved the Starbucks comment at the end, that made me laugh a good one. I was wondering, are the rotations so large that the years are still as long as earths, or longer? Or do the fast orbiting planets have really short years? Interesting thought, curious to know the answer. Nice article over all, I'm going to check out some bad ass tronomy. Those are some awesome pictures.
