Quasar Found 420 Trillion Times Brighter Than Our Sun
An international team of astronomers have discovered a huge quasar 420 trillion times brighter than our sun around 12.8 billion light years away from Earth, placing its formation around 875 million years after the big bang. The ancient object is powered by a massive black hole and contains a staggering 12 billion solar masses, surprising scientists who had not expected such a huge bright quasar so close to the dawn of time. The quasar was found using telescopes located in China, Hawaii, Arizona, and Chile, and as Xue-Bing Wu, of Peking University, explains:
“How could we have this massive black hole when the universe was so young? We don’t currently have a satisfactory theory to explain it.”

I don't like this title. It should read:
A Quasar 420 Trillion Times Brighter Than The Sun Has been Found
Mama always told me never look into the eyes of quasar, but Mama.., that’s where the fun is..
Excellent TV
Our sun is pretty stupid.
Wonder what strength of SPF sunscreen you should use?
420 trillion times brighter? Nah. 400 trillion times, at most.
An international team of researchers has discovered a person who is only 420 trillion times brighter than our Community-Organizer-in-Chief.
2 Trillion
Common (solar) Core.
hehehehehehe Al Bore wants to know, has to know, why didn’t it burn itself out?
I sure hope they didn’t stare directly at it.
lol. Great remake.
Must be a great place to roast hot dogs.
“We don’t currently have a satisfactory theory to explain it.”
Must have been caused by global warming.
“The quasar, named J0100+2802, has scientists now reexamining long held beliefs as in order for the black hole to expand to such a massive size in less than 900 million years it must have been sucking in the surrounding interstellar mass at near the maximum possible rate.”
Or sucking in the previous universe and still later J0100+2802 later became known as the Great Attractor - an object of such massive size that everything in this current universe is being drawn.
*ping*
Those eyes .. makes me think of a young Joe Biden.
works in the drawer worked on more than a few the knew some of the components would fail so thats how they made the money
The great astrophysicist Halton Arp has explained all of this. The problem is that the red-shift theory is wrong, meaning all mainstream cosmology is wrong.
Wrong cosmology leads to the absurd BS referenced in the headline.
