Sailor Pro Gear Slim – Blue Quasar Fountain Pen

【宇宙探索】Sailor PG/PG Slim 藍色類星體 Blue Quasar 21K/14K 鋼筆
繼上次的恆星黑洞Stellar Black Hole後，Sailor又帶大家認識宇宙——最新的海外限定鋼筆「藍色類星體 Blue Quasar」。

大多數的星系中心都有一個超大質量黑洞，強大的引力使大量的氣體和塵埃圍繞在黑洞周圍，形成了高速旋轉且巨大的吸積盤。吸積盤中的氣體會朝向黑洞墜落，物質互相撕裂，產生超強的摩擦力。這種能量會以電磁輻射的形式釋放出來，發射出來的電磁輻射射線是太陽光的上萬億倍；與整個星系中所有恆星加總起來的亮度相比，有時還會高數千倍。

正因為類星體如此光亮，即便它們在遙遠的宇宙彼端，我們也能在地球觀測得到其所發出的光芒。這個明亮的時期僅維持約1000萬至1億年，與138億年的宇宙相比，一晃眼就過了；能捕捉到如此「短暫」的時光，確實是非常難得。

Following our previous encounter with “Stellar Black Holes”, Sailor now takes us on a journey through the cosmos with their latest overseas limited edition fountain pen, “Blue Quasar.”

In the centres of most galaxies, there are a supermassive black hole. Its immense gravitational pull causes a large amount of gas and dust to surround it, forming a rapidly rotating and massive accretion disk. The gas in the disk falls towards the black hole, tearing apart and generating incredibly strong friction. This energy is released as electromagnetic radiation, emitting beams of electromagnetic radiation that are billions of times brighter than sunlight. In fact, at times, the brightness of these emissions can be thousands of times greater than the combined brightness of all the stars in the entire galaxy.

Because quasars are so incredibly bright, we can observe their emitted light even from the farthest reaches of the universe here on Earth. However, this period of brightness lasts only for about 10 million to 100 million years, which is just a blink of an eye compared to the 13.8 billion-year age of the universe. Capturing such a “brief” moment in time is truly remarkable.

這個類星體由超大質量黑洞驅動，離我們非常遙遠(約128.73億光年)，是截止2019年為止，宇宙早期中所發現的最光亮類星體。

This quasar is powered by a supermassive black hole and is located at a tremendous distance from us (approximately 12.873 billion light-years).
As of 2019, it is the brightest quasar discovered in the early universe.
