Scientists have discovered the oldest quasar ever seen, and it shines with the light of a trillion suns
📍 Where it landed
Scientists reported that Europe's Euclid telescope identified 31 of the oldest quasars ever seen, including one shining with the light of a trillion suns when the universe was only about five percent of its current age. The discoveries were described as adding to a “major unsolved problem” in astrophysics, because current models struggle to explain how such massive black holes could have formed so soon after the Big Bang.
