In a monumental discovery, scientists find a vast water reserve near quasar APM 08279 5255, 100 trillion times Earth's oceans, 12 billion light years away. Powered by a supermassive black hole equivalent to 20 billion suns, emitting energy like a trillion suns. This cosmic ocean, captured by Caltech's Z-Spec and advanced technology, reveals potential for the black hole's expansion or the birth of new stars. #WaterDiscoveryInSpace#CaltechResearch#AstronomyNews
Congratulations to our NPCAM graduate Kyle Frohna @TCD_physics@TCD_Chemistry (now a PG, Cambridge) - His first-authored paper just appears in Nat Commun - a prestigious academic journal. nature.com/articles/s41467-0… . This work was done during his final year project with Caltech.👍
