WATER

Water covers more than half of the Earth, but astronomers have discovered a mass of water vapor that is at least 40 trillion times all the water in the world's ocean combined. Two teams of astronomers found what they believe is the largest and farthest water reservoir ever in a distant enormous black hole known as a quasar. The teams of astronomers were each led by scientists at the California Institute of Technology, or Caltech.

The Gulf Dead Zone is the biggest ever this year. It's about 3,300 square miles right now, or roughly the size of Delaware and Rhode Island combined, but researchers at Texas A&M University say it's likely to become much larger, TG Daily reported.

Astromomers found the largest reservoir of water ever discovered in space, which measures 140 trillion times the earth's ocean water. It is also the farthest reservoir of water discovered in the universe, according to two teams of researchers.

The water measured in the quasar is in the form of vapor and is the largest mass of water ever found, the researchers said. The amount of water estimated to be in the quasar is at least 100,000 times the mass of the sun, and is equivalent to 34 billion times the mass of the Earth.
