Galaxy's Largest Water Reservoir Located In 'Massive, Moist Black Hole'


- HUH HUH! you said "moist" & "hole"




massive and very, very wet black hole was recently discovered by asstronomers (you have no idea the amount of shame I live with), and is currently categorized as both the largest AND farthest water source in the known universe. And, since it's only 30-billion-trillion miles away, a great place to stop for a cold drink on long spaceship trips.
Looking into a quasar - one of the brightest and most violent objects in the cosmos - researchers have found a mass of water vapour that's at least 140trillion times that of all the water in the world's oceans combined, and 100,000 times bigger than the sun.

Because the quasar is so far away, its light has taken 12billion years to reach Earth.
The observations therefore reveal a time when the universe was just 1.6billion years old.
