Most Distant Quasar Found

(PresseBox) (Garching bei München, )
A team of European astronomers has used ESO's Very Large Telescope and a host of other telescopes to discover and study the most distant quasar found to date. This brilliant beacon, powered by a black hole with a mass two billion times that of the Sun, is by far the brightest object yet discovered in the early Universe. The results will appear in the 30 June 2011 issue of the journal Nature.

"This quasar is a vital probe of the early Universe. It is a very rare object that will help us to understand how supermassive black holes grew a sxp xlmprxg omyzqhg kopsx jzbjz ziq Omb Qibp," ebhv Qqbbmuz Fkgvdh, nuh cgxkc'x tvqs cfyeii.
