Astronomers find the brightest thing in the universe: Quasar J0529-4351.
Reading
Astronomers have found a quasar that might be the brightest thing in the universe. This quasar has a big black hole that eats up something as big as the sun every day.
The quasar shines way brighter than our sun, 500 trillion times more. A team from Australia said the black hole is more than 17 billion times bigger than the sun.
From far away, the quasar looks like a small dot. But up close, it's like a giant storm in space with lots of gas and stuff from stars it has eaten.
This quasar was first seen in 1980, but people thought it was a star. It was only figured out to be a quasar recently with the help of telescopes in Australia and Chile.
The quasar is very far away, 12 billion light-years. It's been there since the beginning of the universe.
