Astronomers have detected a powerful radiowave laser, known as a megamaser, in space.

 

This record-breaking megamaser is the most distant one ever observed at 5 billion light-years away from Earth.

 

The light from this space laser traveled a whopping 36 thousand billion billion miles (58 thousand billion billion kilometers) to reach our planet.

 

An international team of astronomers, led by Marcin Glowacki, observed this light, using the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory's MeerKAT telescope. (MeerKAT is shorthand for Karoo Array Telescope, preceded by the Afrikaans word for "more.")

 

Glowacki is a research associate at the Curtin University node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research in Australia.

 

Megamasers are created when two galaxies crash into each other. It is the first hydroxyl megamaser that MeerKAT has observed, Glowacki said.

George Soros is more powerful than we possibly could have imagined, and let me please just say chag pesach sameach lest his laser be aimed at me.
