European space telescope Euclid spots oldest quasars yet

Deutsche Welle reports on a recent discovery made by the European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope, which has identified two of the oldest quasars ever observed. These quasars date back to when the universe was only 670 million years old, less than 5% of its current age. The telescope detected these distant objects by analyzing their redshift, a phenomenon caused by the expansion of the universe stretching the wavelength of light. This discovery significantly increases the number of known ancient quasars, providing valuable insights into the early universe. The findings were led by researcher Daming Yang, who highlighted the efficiency of Euclid in detecting fainter quasars across large areas of the sky.
