An international team of researchers has discovered a person who is only 420 trillion times brighter than our Community-Organizer-in-Chief.
I don't like this title. It should read:
A Quasar 420 Trillion Times Brighter Than The Sun Has been Found
Mama always told me never look into the eyes of quasar, but Mama.., that’s where the fun is..
Excellent TV
Our sun is pretty stupid.
Wonder what strength of SPF sunscreen you should use?
420 trillion times brighter? Nah. 400 trillion times, at most.

hehehehehehe Al Bore wants to know, has to know, why didn’t it burn itself out?
I sure hope they didn’t stare directly at it.
“The quasar, named J0100+2802, has scientists now reexamining long held beliefs as in order for the black hole to expand to such a massive size in less than 900 million years it must have been sucking in the surrounding interstellar mass at near the maximum possible rate.”
Or sucking in the previous universe and still later J0100+2802 later became known as the Great Attractor - an object of such massive size that everything in this current universe is being drawn.
*ping*
The great astrophysicist Halton Arp has explained all of this. The problem is that the red-shift theory is wrong, meaning all mainstream cosmology is wrong.
Wrong cosmology leads to the absurd BS referenced in the headline.
I wonder if the majority of mass in the universe is in these things. If so, I believe it would eliminate the need for dark matter theories.
IMHO, there’s more than enough mass in galactic centers, which, combined with very dense concentrations of matter not yet absorbed by black holes therein, to hold the galaxies together without invoking “dark matter” to correct some phantom insufficiency.
What’s more likely... that a quasar 420 trillion times as bright as the sun existed 12.8 billion years ago... or that scientists are misinterpreting the data using a flawed theory?
Actually, it should read this way:
“A quasar, recently ejected from its relatively nearby parent galaxy, has such an extreme intrinsic redshift that, if indicative of recessional velocity rather than age, would put it at such a distance that its intrinsic brightness would make it appear to be 420 trillion time brighter than our sun.”
Funny how much trouble the simple but wrong interpretation of redshift as indicative of recessional velocity in the early days of modern astronomy can cause.
Global warming without SUV’s?
You don’t want to be in the same galaxy as that thing.
Mindless politically-addicted Leftist reply: “We need a government 420 trillion times the size of what we have now to deal with it.”
Whichever> The EPA is right on it. Pretty soon the quasar will be fined, put on eternal supervised probation, and dimmed to the level of a 25 Watt bulb.
Big Government - looking out for the universe whether you want it to or not!
