South African Team Detects Most Distant ‘Cosmic Laser’ Ever
Story 3
A team led by the University of Pretoria has discovered the most distant hydroxyl megamaser, a natural “cosmic laser”, using the MeerKAT radio telescope.
The signal comes from a galaxy so far away that we see it as it was when the universe was less than half its current age. Its radio waves were further amplified by a perfectly aligned foreground galaxy, creating a natural gravitational lens that helped detect this extraordinary phenomenon.
Scientists say the discovery opens new windows into galaxy evolution, star formation, and black hole activity, and demonstrates South Africa’s leading role in radio astronomy.
Dr Thato Manamela, lead author of the study and postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pretoria explains
