Astronomers have captured the brightest quasar ever observed, located in a galaxy 9.6 billion light years away. The quasar, named J1144, Emits Jets of light 100,000 billion times brighter than the sun, making it much closer to Earth than other sources of the same luminosity. Researchers used several space-based observatories to measure the temperature of the X-rays emitted by J1144, calculating it at around 350 million Kelvin, more than 60,000 times hotter than the surface of the sun. The study improves understanding of the inner workings of quasars and sheds light on the black hole at J1144's center.
