"Unveiling the Brightest Object in the Universe: A 500 Trillion Times Brighter Than the Sun"

Astronomers have possibly discovered the brightest object ever observed in the universe, a distant quasar estimated to be at least 500 trillion times brighter than the sun. The quasar, identified by Australian researchers using the Very Large Telescope and Siding Spring Observatory, is powered by a supermassive black hole more than 17 billion times larger than our sun and is located about 12 billion light years away. The finding, reported in Nature Astronomy, could provide important insights into the early universe and the growth of supermassive black holes.

"Record-breaking Quasar: Universe's Brightest Object Fueled by Sun-Eating Black Hole"

Astronomers have discovered what could be the brightest object in the universe, a quasar emitting light 500 trillion times more intense than the sun, powered by the fastest-growing black hole known. The quasar, J0529-4351, was initially mistaken for a star and is located over 12 billion light years away with a mass 17 billion times that of the sun. This finding provides insight into the development of galaxies and the expansion of the universe, while also showcasing the extreme and violent nature of this cosmic phenomenon.

"Discovery: Universe's Brightest Quasar Powered by Monster Black Hole"

Astronomers have discovered what may be the brightest object in the universe, a quasar with a black hole at its heart growing so fast that it swallows the equivalent of a sun a day. The record-breaking quasar shines 500 trillion times brighter than our sun, and the black hole powering it is more than 17 billion times more massive than our sun. This distant quasar, named J0529-4351, is 12 billion light-years away and has been around since the early days of the universe, representing a significant discovery in the field of astronomy.

Catch Venus at its peak beside stunning star cluster M35.

Venus, the second planet from the sun, will reach its highest point in the evening sky on May 8 during its evening apparition period. The planet will be visible in the early evening and will have a magnitude of around -4.2, making it the third brightest object in the sky after the sun and the moon. Venus will be in the Taurus constellation and can be spotted with the help of telescopes.
