This should be illegal. When I’m dictator I’ll make it my first executive order to stop this nonsense.

Here's the very sciencey diagram I included in my book (#EndOfEverythingBook) to illustrate the concept of how a galaxy of the same size would start to look bigger again at a large distance. There's more discussion of it, and several other deeply trippy things, in Chapter 4.

A diagram of Angular Size on the y-axis and Distance on the x-axis, with a dotted diagonal line going from upper left to lower right, and a solid line that almost follows the dotted line but then reaches a minimum well above the line and curves up again sharply. Along the line are cartoon galaxies, with the galaxies getting smaller until the smallest one at the minimum of the solid line, and then getting larger again as the line goes up.
