Four active black holes were recently discovered in a distant gas cloud (which are known as quasars), and were clustered in a nebula which is distanced at almost 10 billion light years from the surface of Earth. Quasars are nothing but a cluster of bright objects which are found at the center of the galaxy.

Quasars are known to consume a lot of gas and dust and produce more light than the host galaxy, in which they reside, as per The Space Reporter. These quasars were found in a very distant area on the universe, an area which is covered within a nebula (a gas cloud). These quasars are located within 700,000 light years from one other, according to The Business Insider.

Max Planck Institute of Astronomy is the place from where this discovery was made, under the guidance of Dr. Joseph Hennawi and his team of scientists. This group of scientists were simply studying 29 quasars of this nebula when they stumbled upon this particularly rare quasar.

According to Hennawi, finding a multiple quasars system is in itself a big achievement as quasars are already so rare. Hennawi further said that this occurrence is certainly not any coincidence which should be let go of; they are in the process of collecting all the facts and studying the reason for the presence of these bright black holes in this nebula.

Since this quasar was found in a giant nebulae of cool gas, the research team thinks that the temperature of the gas, the proto clusters and the quasar activity is somehow interlinked with each other. Such nebulae are also called as jackpot nebula, as the galactic cluster such as this is capable to harbor a huge number of galaxies that are ordinarily found in a single cloud of gas.
