Quasar J0529-4351:
Consuming just over one Sun's worth of matter each and every day, it is the fastest growing black hole detected so far. Also, the intense amount of energy it emits in the process of eating all that matter makes it the brightest quasar ever seen. And since quasars are already the brightest objects in the universe, this is also the most luminous known object in the universe. It's 500 trillion times brighter than our Sun and 17 billion times its mass. Located 12 billion light year away. |

Did you know?
Over the course of Earth’s history, its rotation has been slowing down. Some 1.4 billion years ago, a day lasted 18 hours and 41 minutes and during the Age of Dinosaurs, a day was only 23 hours. That’s a pretty slow-going process—so slow, in fact, that an Earth day is only 0.047 seconds longer than it was at the end of the Bronze Age. |

The Lyrid meteor shower peaking this week-end.
On the night of April 14, as Earth travelled along its orbit around the Sun, the planet slipped into a fast-moving stream of icy debris left behind by an ancient comet known as C/1861 G1 (Thatcher). As these bits of comet debris began plunging into the atmosphere, they produced streaks of light in the sky and marked the beginning of the annual Lyrid meteor shower. The Lyrids typically start off fairly quiet, with only a handful of meteors streaming out of the constellation Lyra each night for the first week of the meteor shower. However, on the night of April 21-22 we pass through the densest part of comet Thatcher's debris stream. That is when the Lyrid meteor shower reaches its peak, producing around 20 meteors per hour throughout the night. |

This composite image of the Tycho supernova remnant combines X-ray and infrared observations obtained with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and Spitzer Space Telescope, respectively, and the Calar Alto observatory, Spain. It shows the scene more than four centuries after the brilliant star explosion.
