Astronomers have identified what could be the most luminous object in the universe—an extraordinary quasar featuring a rapidly growing black hole at its core, consuming the equivalent of one sun daily.

This groundbreaking quasar sets a new record, radiating a brilliance 500 trillion times greater than our sun.

The black hole propelling this distant quasar surpasses our sun’s mass by over 17 billion times, as disclosed by an Australian-led team in a report published Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy.

Despite appearing as a mere dot in images, the quasar is envisioned by scientists as an intense and dynamic location.

The swirling disk around the quasar’s black hole, comprising luminous gas and matter from engulfed stars, resembles a cosmic hurricane, the Associated Press reported.
