Gas on the run — ALMA spots the Shadow of a Molecular Outflow from a Quasar when the Universe was less than one billion years old

Posted by in category: cosmology

Theoretical predictions have been confirmed with the discovery of an outflow of molecular gas from a quasar when the Universe was less than a billion years old.

A quasar is a compact region powered by a supermassive black hole located in the center of a massive galaxy.

They are extremely luminous, with a point-like appearance similar to stars, and are extremely distant from Earth.
