An international team of astronomers have discovered the most distant quasar in the Universe, fully formed around 670 million years after the Big Bang. Artists impression

If I drove the spaceship,we’d make it there in 2 hours flat...I’m known to have a lead foot....

Last I read the age of the universe is now measured at 13.77 billion years old, so yea, that’s amazingly old.

I have taken the scenic route..Was doing 80 in a 55 ..BUT THE SCENERY WAS GORGEOUS......Oregon coast on vacation....

That would make the Big Bang at least 13.7 billion years old.

I guess we’re doomed. Never let a good crisis go to waste.

NASA we do not care to look at another cgi i you guys made.

And give us our money back.

that big black hole is so far back in time that it is just about to swallow up the original singularity of creation.
When this happens, everything everywhere will disappear for all time. Game over, folks!

Odd. I thought the idea was that if hydrogen concentrated then at some point the nuclear forces pushing out would balance the gravitational forces pushing in and a star would be born.

Now they're saying that the concentration of hydrogen can be a runaway process where there never is enough outward pressure from the nuclear reactions to oppose the gravitational collapse.

Just because the hydrogen starts out "cold" doesn't mean it won't heat up once it is all congregated together.

Will this be yet another "cosmological crisis"?

It sucked in 98% of the universe in a big cosmic event 900 million years ago.

“... detected by astronomers more than 13 BILLION light years from Earth...”

Man... Those astronomers are some far away. If they were closer, their information would get her quicker.

This object was discovered when the universe was just 670 million years old

editor, please!

The earth and that hole were practically neighbors back around the big bang. Now it acts like a total stranger.
