Astronomers have found a massive water vapor cloud, floating around a black hole in the universe.
The gigantic water reservoir, positioned well over 10 billion light years from Earth, holds more than 140 trillion times the mass of water in the Earth's oceans.
"Since astronomers expected water vapor to be present even in the early universe, the discovery of water is not itself a surprise," the Carnegie Institution, one of the groups behind the findings, said in a statement to the press.
The water cloud was found to be in the central regions of a faraway quasar.
