Vast Amount of Water Discovered Circling Distant Quasar
An international team of astronomers has discovered the largest and oldest reservoir of water ever detected in the universe, swirling around a massive black hole at the heart of a quasar galaxy 12 billion light years from the Earth.
Scientists at the California Institute of Technology led the researchers, who say the distant mass of water vapor is at least 140 trillion times greater than all the water in the Earth's oceans, and 100,000 times more massive than the sun.
