scientists from The United States National Radio-astronomical Observatory has discovered the brightest object of the primitive universe – a quasar that lies 13 billion light years from Earth [19659003]. ] The quasars are characterized by plasma jets coming out of their center, they are clearly visible in the radio frequency C is the signal from the identified quasar, called PSO J352.4034-15.3373 (P352-15 abbreviated) , which has been detected by the Very Long Baseline Array radio telescope, because in most quasars there are two of these plasma jets. 19659003] The light of the quasars can be used to study the intergalactic medium, due to the fact that the hydrogen changes the spectrum of light in its long journey to Earth

"We see the object P352 -15, which appeared when the universe was less than a billion years old. It was at the end of the period when the first stars and galaxies were re-ionizing the neutral hydrogen atoms that were entering the intergalactic space.Other observations could allow us to use this quasar as the basis for measuring the amount of neutral hydrogen at that time, "says astrophysicist Chris Carilli of the National Observatory of Radio Astronomy.

The distance between P352-15 and the Earth still does not determine mass and size The galaxy is thought to be with it, but now, as scientists point out, P352-15 is the brightest source of Radio waves of the young Universe whose power is tens of times greater than any other objects known to astronomers.
