Astronomers have reported the discovery of a quasar they estimate to be 500 trillion times brighter than the Sun.
A group of scientists from Australia and Chile announced that they discovered this extremely bright and massive celestial body, named "J0529-4351", through observations made with telescopes located in the Atacama Desert.
As a result of the research, it was determined that this quasar could be one of the brightest objects in the universe.
Astronomers have determined that this quasar is 12 billion light-years away from Earth. Furthermore, it was noted that the mass of the black hole at the center of this object is 17 to 19 billion times that of the Sun.
The details of the research were published in the journal "Nature Astronomy".
