U.S. space agency (NASA) said in Washington on Friday that its Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) telescope has discovered a remote galaxy that shines with the light of more than 300 trillion suns, making it the most luminous galaxy ever found.
It said the galaxy, known as “WISE J224607.57-052635.0’’, belongs to a recently discovered new class of objects called extremely luminous infrared galaxies.
NASA said its dazzling light may be due to a behemoth black hole at its belly.
The space agency explained in a statement that “Supermassive black holes draw gas and matter into a disk around them, heating the disk to roaring temperatures of millions of degrees and blasting out high-energy, visible, ultraviolet, and X-ray light.
It said the light, however, was absorbed by surrounding cocoons of dust, which prevents the agency from seeing the galaxy with optical telescopes.
“When the dust heats up, it radiates infrared light, which is only now detected by the WISE telescope.
NASA said because light from the galaxy hosting the black hole has traveled 12.5 billion years to reach us, astronomers are seeing the object as it was in the distant past.
It said at that time, the universe was only a tenth of its present age of 13.8 billion years, but the black hole was already billions of times the mass of our sun.
The new study, published in the Astrophysical Journal, also reported 19 other extremely luminous infrared galaxies.
It said just like the most luminous galaxy found to date, the galaxies were not found earlier because of their distance, and because dust converts their powerful visible light into an incredible outpouring of infrared light. (Xinhua/NAN)

These guys are busy looking for heaven in human body.

Nobody is fvcking looking for a mythical abode in the pages of a book.. this is astronomical science boy... Not fairytales.... what exactly have religion done to our youths

Hey! Calm it bro. Even if you like it or yes, there's heaven, ok.

oh really?..... mind telling me where?

No matter how long our argument will span, we will still believe what we like.

its not an argument, i certainly can't argue with you am sure.


I just asked a simple question... "Where? "

johnydon22:

I just asked a simple question... "Where? "

Its somewhere, I assure you.
What you need to know where it is, is to change your present clothing.

VickJames:

Lmao.... Am sure you and i know that answering "somewhere" when asked for a location actually means "i don't know"

Can you now simply say you don't know or since you are wearing the exact same clothing like the one you would like me to change to, why dont you just tell me...


let me ask it again "Where?"

Like I said earlier, telling you where heaven is will not solve your problem.

Heaven is in another realm, a realm which is not of the earth.

If you want to know the actual place heaven is, stay holy and die. I bet you, the location will be clear.

Lmao... And this certainly shows you don't even have the faintest idea where it is, but as usual blindly believes...

Since heaven its actually only known to dead holy people, how come you know their is heaven when you are not dead yet?

Where is the another realm?

Lol... still waiting for a straight answer...

Do the research yourself.

I don't always entertain religious argument.

VickJames:

Argument? Oh please Don't flatter yourself, its not.

You are the one that actually think astronomical science is on a quest to discover heaven.

You made it clear you know the location of heaven and i dont..

So i am only asking questions.

Where is heaven?

How come you know their is heaven when you are not dead yet since only dead holy people can find out?

The universe is amazing

But it's good they look and keep looking don't you think...dem go look soteey one day dem go see God!

That's if they won't say na UFO dem
