The history of mankind is largely marked by the search for resources necessary for life. Water sources are always privileged points on the map, not only for people, animals and plants also look for them. The truth is that the finding of this type of reserve is essential for the formation of life and the development of humanity. But nobody expected it. NASA made a revolutionary discovery in the cosmos. It is a gigantic reserve.
How is an ocean discovered?
This constant need for expansion and conquest of territories in search of more resources It is no novelty. Without going any further, the examples of territorial disputes in the world that have even brought sadly to numerous wars, it is known that they are based on the rights to the exploitation of the natural resources of those regions. But in the cosmos, how does it work?
Currently, there are two main countries that are in a competition for the exploration of space. It is the so -called space race between the United States and China, although the European and private Union are also added such as Elon Musk’s agency, Spacex. They are investing huge sums of money in their space programs to arrive first and make greater discoveries. So the exploration and the study has multiplied.
One of the main questions about the universe have to do with whether human life is possible on other planets and with this also: Is there water in other parts of the cosmos? The answer has come. They have found an ocean in the cosmos. Is The largest and distant never identified located 12 billion light years away from Earth.
Of the brightest and most energetic of the cosmos: a quasar
It is a really giant reserve that left the world in shock. Experts point out that the amount is equivalent to 140 billion oceans. This deposit is located in an orbit around an extremely bright energy source called Cuásar. This represents one of the brightest and most energetic phenomena throughout the cosmos.
-This punctual quasar was baptized with the name APM 08279+5255. Its main feature is that it contains a black hole with a mass equivalent to 20 billion times that of the sun. This structure generates an amount of energy comparable to that of a four -year -old, by attracting matter that, when heating, produces an extremely active and brilliant region.
Scientists explain that the black hole in their center works by attracting surrounding matter, heating the gas and dust. But in this particular case it manages to create a region full of molecules never revealed to such an extreme distance. Water vapor is one of these molecules that allowed to identify this ocean in the cosmos.
An unexpected confirmation
For their part, researchers plan to continue deepening the study of this and other quasars. This will allow greater observations and calculations to contrast the results in each case with the objective of understanding better The formation of the primitive universe. From the birth of galaxies and the distribution of matter in the cosmos.
No one had imagined this ocean in the cosmos that amazed everyone. But scientists confirmed another unexpected fact. According to the studies carried out, this powerful extremely brilliant energy source would have traveled from a time close to the Big Bang. So this discovery shows that the water was already present even in the earliest stages of the universe.
This represents a fundamental discovery that can reveal very valuable information about the past and future of the universe. Since it favors the understanding of the universe from its most remote principles and our own planet. In this sense, these phenomena are crucial to rebuild history and a possible future.
