(Outerspace) A 3D animation of ULAS J1120+0641 

HD (1920x1024) artists interpretation of the most distant quasar. Video courtesy of the European Space Agency. From the author:

This artist’s impression shows how ULAS J1120+0641, a very distant quasar powered by a black hole with a mass two billion times that of the Sun, may have looked. This quasar is the most distant yet found and is seen as it was just 770 million years after the Big Bang. This object is by far the brightest object yet discovered in the early Universe.

  • What amazes me most about space and telescopes is that it actually allows us to time travel far into the past.
    Millions, billions of years have passed in the place we are seeing now.
    Entire species or life forms could have been created and wiped away.
    The really odd thing is that from their perspective today, Earth would probably not exist.
    One becomes very small at the thought of that.

  • Very cool except for the silly wobbly zoom effect.

  • Its an interesting concept, isn't it. "The farthest known object." In my youth, I always thought of that as a trippy question.
