These great hollow globes of artificial super-metals, and artificial transparent adamant, ranged in size from the earliest and smallest structures, which were no bigger than a very small asteroid, to spheres considerably larger than the Earth. (Olaf Stapledon, STAR MAKER)

Jumbles
Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day shows a galaxy that had a bad day and is still in recovery mode. Centaurs A is an "active galaxy". Two galaxies "interacted" and the results can be seen in a jumble of star clusters, dust clouds and more. Top it off with a central black hole that is slowly consuming the dust and other material that comes its way.
