An international team of scientists has discovered “four-leaf clovers” in space.\u00a0They are\u00a0quasars – the extremely bright nuclei of distant galaxies that are powered by supermassive black holes within them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The researchers found a dozen of them, and their light rays were distorted by naturally occurring cosmic ‘lenses’ and split into four similar-looking images.\u00a0The study was co-authored by Jean Surdej, visiting professor at the Astronomical Observatory of the University of\u00a0Adam Mickiewicz in Pozna\u0144.<\/p>\n

Over the past four decades, astronomers have observed about 50 such “cosmic clovers”.\u00a0The latest research, lasting a year and a half, has increased this figure by about 25%, showing how powerful machine learning is, helping astronomers find these cosmic singularities.<\/p>\n
