Brightest object in the universe swallows a Sun every day

You’d assume that the brightest object in the known universe would be a pretty easy thing to discover, but astronomers have only just spotted it. This overlooked show-off is a supermassive black hole with the mass of 17 billion Suns, and counting – it swallows another Suns’ worth of material every day, making it also the fastest-growing black hole ever found.There’s a couple of obvious questions you’re probably asking about this. First, black holes are the blackest things that can exist, and light famously can’t escape…

The Brightest Quasar Ever Seen Eats a ‘Sun’ Every Day

February 20, 20244 min readThe quasar, as bright as 500 trillion suns, has evaded astronomers for over 40 years because of its incredible luminosityBy Robert Lea & SPACE.comAn artist's impression of the record-breakin quasar J059-4351, the bright core of a distant galaxy illuminated by a supermassive black hole. This black hole has a mass of 17 billion times that of our sun, and consumes an entire sun's mass of material per day. A newly discovered quasar is a real record-breaker. Not only is it the brightest quasar

Brightest object in Universe found: It’s “500 trillion times more luminous than the Sun”, experts say

Astronomers and researchers have been studying the Universe for decades with the help of advanced telescopes and equipment around the world. Now, with the help of the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have located the brightest object in Universe. It is a quasar. Experts believe that this is the most luminous object ever found in deep space. And the brightness does not stem from something ordinary. The quasar is said to be energized by what is reported to be the fastest-growing…

Brightest Object in the Universe Discovered – Powered by Supermassive Black Hole Eating a Sun a Day

This artist’s impression shows the record-breaking quasar J059-4351, the bright core of a distant galaxy that is powered by a supermassive black hole. Using ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, this quasar has been found to be the most luminous object known in the Universe to date. The supermassive black hole, seen here pulling in surrounding matter, has a mass 17 billion times that of the Sun and is growing in mass by the equivalent of another Sun per day, making it the fastest-growing black hole ever known.…

Astronomers find what may be the universe’s brightest object with a black hole devouring a sun a day – The Denver Post

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — 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. The black hole powering this distant quasar is more than 17 billion times more immense than our sun, an Australian-led team reported Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy. While the quasar resembles a mere dot in images, scientists envision a…

NASA Tracks the Brightest Cosmic Event Ever Recorded – “This Thing’s Crazy!”

Astronomers think a long GRB (gamma-ray burst) arises from a massive, rapidly rotating star when its core runs out of fuel and collapses, forming a black hole in the star’s center. In this artist’s concept, two jets emerge from the dying star and interact with surrounding gas and dust.

This event and others like it…

Cyber Monday deal: Get the world’s brightest flashlight for $136 off

Imalent/ZDNETWhile your average flashlight shines about 1,000 lumens, there are significantly brighter options built for more extreme circumstances or easier navigability. For example, the Imalent SR32. When switched on, the Imalent SR32 emits the highest brightness level for about a minute before dimming to 25,000 lumens, which it can sustain for 45 minutes. This model also features an OLED digital display to show the battery level. In addition, the Imalent SR32 has seven settings, including cold and warm light
