Scientists just detected a powerful laser sending out messages in this deep region of space. Today, we take a look at this huge space laser that’s been discovered. Literally less than a month ago, scientists discovered an immensely powerful radio-wave laser, so powerful it is referred to as a ‘megamaser’, from the new MeerKAT telescope in South Africa. Not only is it a super strong beam, but it is also the most distant megamaser that they have been able to detect from Earth to date, with estimates putting it at about 5 billion light years away from us. Scientists from the team who discovered this megamaser explain that these are usually formed when two galaxies collide violently. ’
