🪐 RX J0911+0551 is one of the most distant gravitationally lensed quasars ever found, with its light traveling about 11 billion years to reach us. This quasar—an extremely bright object powered by a supermassive black hole—appears as several split images in the sky because a massive galaxy between us and RX J0911+0551 bends and magnifies its light, acting as a "gravitational lens" and allowing scientists to glimpse extreme distances near the edge of the visible universe. ✨ #quasars⚡#spacelensing⚡#distances⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries 👉more Channels
