  • So the quasar image is reconstructed from data collected over time as the lensing galaxy/mass is moving across the quasar? How long did it take to have enough data to make the image?

  • @doe791 That's a good question, but I don't know the answer, I tried to find the paper this press release was based on with no success. I'll keep trying.

  • Hey I live like 15mins away from the Arecibo Telescope XD, I should go there.

  • @MrNemitri Yes you should, it's quite a facility. And beautiful.

  • @PREPARE4THEHYPOCRITE They aren't guessing, they know. They've seen it, they've imaged it, and they know where it is. You don't need to be a god to just look up and take a measurement. What's arrogant about that?
