500 trillion times brighter than the Sun, the "cosmic hurricane"

Similar to stars, but many times brighter! The celestial objects that scientists have named "quasars" are as mysterious as they are amazing.

Before we dwell on the latest discovery that is precisely related to them, let's briefly explain what they are.

Quasars ( quasi-stellar radio source ), are celestial bodies that emit a large amount of energy in the form of light, infrared rays, radio waves, ultraviolet rays, etc. Despite being light years away from the Sun, their luminosity is extremely high.

They are found near black holes, at the center of a galaxy. In simpler language, they are like the "core of a galaxy".

For the first time these celestial objects were spotted in the 1930s, when Karl Jansky, one of the most famous astronomers, discovered this source of energy with a large amount of light.

Sky News writes that recently, a quasar 500 trillion times brighter than the Sun has been discovered.

The massive black hole that this quasar resides in is about 19 billion times the size of the Sun and is growing at a breakneck speed. It was a team of scientists from Australia who discovered that this quasar was pulling huge amounts of gas towards it. We would describe it differently as a "cosmic hurricane" as it emits an energy bordering on the unimaginable.

The study's lead author Christian Wolf said that " this quasar may indeed be the brightest ever discovered ."

According to him, for the first time he was seen in 1980, but at that time he was thought to be a star.

Just last year, researchers classified it as a quasar after observations they made in Australia and Chile's Atacama Desert.

Astronomers even say that this quasar "contains the energy equivalent of 370 suns per year." 12 billion light years from Earth, the named quasarJ0529-4351it is one of the most remarkable discoveries to date. The research was published in the journal " Nature Astronomy ".
