The Quasar Holding 140 Trillion Oceans Quasar APM 08279+5255, 12 billion light-years away, surrounds a supermassive black hole with a water-vapor reservoir containing roughly 140 trillion times the water in Earth's oceans. The largest water reservoir ever found sits beside a cosmic engine. Abundance on a scale that breaks the imagination — where does water really live?

⚠️ RAT activity shifted last week, with #Remcos# up over 40% and #SilentNet# nearly doubling. #AgentTesla#, #Quasar#, and #DonutLoader# also moved higher, while #AsyncRAT# and #XWorm# declined. 📌 Trend to watch: growth is moving between established threats rather than following one clear leader. For SOC teams, these shifts can quickly reshape detection and investigation priorities. Monitor the malware driving today’s attacks: #Top10Malware#

The single largest object (excluding galaxies) ever identified is S5 0014+81. Brace yourself for this one. S5 0014+81 is classified as a quasar. Upon closer examination, researchers discovered a black hole sitting at its center. Scientists anticipated finding an average-sized black hole... but were stunned when they calculated its mass at a staggering 40,000,000,000 (40 billion) solar masses

A stellar-mass black hole twelve thousand light-years away in the constellation Scutum is driving a persistent jet of plasma at three-quarters the speed of light, and the jet lies close enough to our line of sight that the system qualifies as a microblazar candidate. IRAS 18293−0941 is a high-mass X-ray binary. A hot, massive star and a compact object of roughly ten solar masses orbit each other every 11.38 days. Material stripped from the star forms an accretion disk; part of it falls inward and part is ejected along the poles as a pair of relativistic jets. Because the approaching jet is Doppler-boosted, it appears far brighter than its receding counterpart. The geometry is the same one that defines the giant blazars powered by supermassive black holes, only scaled to a stellar remnant that has existed for only tens of thousands of years. The object itself was catalogued by IRAS in 1983 and then largely ignored. Heavy extinction in the Galactic plane keeps it invisible at optical wavelengths. Radio maps from the European VLBI Network and MeerKAT reveal the one-sided jet and, tens of light-years downstream, a cavity roughly a hundred light-years long where the unseen counter-jet has plowed into the interstellar medium. At the far edge of that cavity the flow collides with a dense molecular cloud and lights a compact hotspot. The power and orientation make the system a plausible accelerator of the ultra-high-energy particles detected nearby by LHAASO. No flux from this jet reaches Earth at a level that matters. Twelve thousand light-years is still twelve thousand light-years; the inverse-square law is not optional. The scientific interest lies elsewhere. A microblazar inside the Milky Way places the acceleration region, the jet–cloud interaction, and the resulting particle spectrum within reach of instruments that cannot resolve the same structures in distant quasars. The paper by Martí and collaborators, accepted by Astronomy & Astrophysics, supplies the multi-wavelength case that earlier candidates lacked. The Metro framing of “radioactive goo” headed for Earth is the opposite of the measurement. What the observations show is a short-lived, dust-buried engine doing, on a stellar scale, the same work the largest black holes perform across cosmic distances, and doing it close enough that we can watch the particles gain their energy.
