Astronomers Find Largest, Most Distant Reservoir of Water
NASA JPL CIT July 22, 2011
Two teams of astronomers have discovered the largest and farthest reservoir of water ever detected in the universe. The water, equivalent to 140 trillion times all the water in the world's ocean, surrounds a huge, feeding black hole, called a quasar, more than 12 billion light-years away.
“The environment around this quasar is very unique in that it's producing this huge mass of water,” said Matt Bradford, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. “It's another demonstration that water is pervasive throughout the universe, even at the very earliest times.”
Koko the Reflexive: Balance is a huge part of integrity. This research is encouraging only if humanity survives for several more centuries. What is being done to our water here on Earth is a crime against all species.
