Absolutely Massive 12-Billion-Year-Old Body of Water Found Floating in Space
Scientists have found the universe’s largest water reserve, but it’s not on Earth. It’s said to be floating in space. There is a huge body of water in space that has been found by two science teams. It is said to be 12 billion years old. The body of water is much bigger than all the water on Earth. Scientists also think it’s 140 trillion times bigger than all the water in the world’s seas.
The universe’s largest and farthest water reservoir
But because the body of water is around a quasar, a huge black hole that feeds on other black holes, which is more than 12 billion years away, it’s not likely that you would be able to see it with a microscope. From what experts have found, the universe was only 1.6 billion years old at one point.
Matt Bradford, a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said that the find only showed that water exists in space. “The environment around this quasar is unique in that it’s producing this huge mass of water,” he said. “It’s another demonstration that water is pervasive throughout the universe, even at the very earliest times.”
