Astronomers Uncover a Gigamaser, the Strongest Known Microwave Laser in the Universe
Photo credit: SARAO Astronomers discovered a strange beacon deep in space: a natural microwave laser so powerful that physicists refer to it as a gigamaser. A team utilizing South Africa’s MeerKAT radio telescope discovered an extraordinarily strong signal at 1667 megahertz while scanning the sky for distant galaxies rich in molecular hydrogen.
