Astronomen haben den am weitesten entfernten Megamaser entdeckt, der jemals beobachtet wurde und aus kollidierenden Galaxien entstand.
Dieses starke kosmische Signal wirkt wie ein natürlicher Laser und enthüllt, wie Galaxien im frühen Universum entstanden sind.

[Here’s the paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.13396)
Wild to think this signal started traveling when universe was basically a toddler compared to now. Makes me wonder what other cosmic messages are still on their way to us that we won’t detect for another few billion years. The timing is just mind-bending – like getting mail from ancient civilizations except it’s galaxies crashing into each other.
Aimed at the giant cat at the center of the universe.
