The Index does not use the word "only". The dialogue in the book takes precedence over an index. The dialogue in the book references multiple quasars being destroyed and the astrophysicists are able to see massive destruction from many light years away. They are in awe of the magnitude. All of this fits in greater with Odin's statement that galaxies will fall more than his accompanying statement that planets will fall. A quasar produces much more energy than a galaxy.
