An international astronomy team discovered brilliant gas clouds around distant quasars, the European Southern Observatory said Wednesday.

Quasars, the most luminous and active objects in the universe, are active galaxies which contain supermassive black holes that consume stars, gas and other materials, causing huge amounts of radiation to be emitted.
