ESOcast 32: Most Distant Quasar Found
Loading...
Uploaded by ESOobservatory on Jun 29, 2011
This ESOcast is about the discovery of the most distant quasar found to date. This brilliant beacon is powered by a black hole with a mass two billion times that of the Sun. It is by far the brightest object yet discovered in the early Universe.

So just to be clear... the animations in this video are representing tendrils of stars whipping around the quasar in real time, but I would guess that this is a misrepresentation of the actual time scale? Shouldn't a live video feed of a quasar zoomed out to the galaxy level be perfectly still???

The Cosmos is each day passing by discovering a little bit more about itself...

Go Europe! Great Research like this can make so many Europeans really get interested in and excited about Astronomy!

NASA budget is less than the amount spent on air conditioning in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, i wonder if they just spent a bit more on NASA what wonders would we find about the universe and what technologies we could develop.
