The search for the most powerful 'cosmic laser' in the depths of the universe!
Scientists say they have found a very powerful radio wavelength laser in the depths of the universe. Such waves are known as massless cosmic objects, known as 'megamaser'. The discovery was published in the astrophysical journal Letters, according to Science Alert.
The laser was detected by the Mirkat Radio Telescope in South Africa, scientists say. This light has reached the earth after traveling 5 billion light years, the source of which is seen as Enkalakatha or Big Boss.
Marcin Glowaki, a scientist at Australia's International Center for Radio Astronomy Research, said the record-breaking megamasser could be found on a one-night observation. This is an incredible fact, which proves the uniqueness of our telescope.
Masser is the microwave version of the laser. Microwaves and radio waves are generated without visible light being emitted. Planets, comets, cosmic clouds and stars may be behind the formation of such masses. More powerful waves are called megamasars, which produce supermassive black hole megamasastar.Scientists say the latest discovered megamasser is named Encalakatha because it emanates from a galaxy called WISEA J033046.26−275518.3. It signals the collision of galaxies and the birth of a new star.
