Many of the astronomical discoveries in the past decade or so have been seen by the hubble space telescope.  This one however was spotted bu the WISE telescope from JPL:

To peer inside W2246-0526, scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory used the WISE telescope’s infrared instrument to find the quasar, while scientists from the European Southern Observatory used the ALMA radio telescope to closely map what was happening inside the dust cloud.

What they found confirmed a supermassive black hole, around which turbulently swirls an incredibly active and energetic accretion disc. This accretion disc is superheated by the swirling activity caused by the black hole. This, in turn, causes the galaxy to glow extremely brightly.

And enclosed is a video that has a simulation of the previously most powerful quasar ever found.  We hope you like watching it and we expect more data about this latest discovery.
