Astronomers using the MeerKAT telescope discovered a hydroxyl megamaser in a galactic merger 8 billion light-years away, amplified by gravitational lensing and operating at radio wavelengths.

The researchers said that the "hydroxyl gigamaser" was generated by the merger of two galaxies some 8 billion light-years away.

The results reveal that our universe is reverberating with cosmic collisions. Some of the waves stem from pairs of black ...
