Astronomers detect ancient lonely quasars with murky origins
Monday, 21 October 2024 11:27
Boston MA (SPX) Oct 18, 2024

As the black hole draws in surrounding gas and dust, it blasts out an enormous amount of energy, making quasars some of the brightest objects in the universe. Quasars have been observed as early as a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, and it's been a mystery as to how these ob
