THE HIMIKO CLOUD

INCUPDATES
 Himiko is a large gas cloud.The himiko cloud is a most  massive object ever found in the univers. Himiko is a giant blob of hot gas. The giant blob is named after a legendary mysterious queen in ancient Japan, because this object is a remarkable object found early in the history of the universe
in a Japanese Subaru field.Infrared observations with Spitzer Space Telescope show that  Himiko 
is as massive as several tens of billions of suns.



This   nebular  gas  cloud  is  thought  to  be
a  Protogalaxy. There  have  been            no spectroscopic  signatures  of  anything  other than  hydrogen  or  helium.  Its  light  cannot
be ascribed to gravitational lensing,  black holes or exterior excitation.






It is 55,000 light years across "half the diameter of our galaxy" and at the time of discovery, hold more than 10 times as much mass as the next largest object found in the early universe, or roughly
the equivalent mass of 40 billion Suns.It is first discovered by the Subaru Telescope.This object is seen when the universe was only 800 million years old, corresponding to 6% of its present age.
