Water,

From above link :
"Two teams of astronomers have discovered the largest and farthest reservoir of water ever detected in the universe. The water, equivalent to 140 trillion times all the water in the world's ocean, surrounds a huge, feeding black hole, called a quasar, more than 12 billion light-years away. One team, lead by Matt Bradford, made their observations starting in 2008, using an instrument called 'Z-Spec' at the California Institute of Technology's Submillimeter Observatory, a 33-foot (10-meter) telescope near the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Follow-up observations were made with the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-Wave Astronomy (CARMA), an array of radio dishes in the Inyo Mountains of Southern California. The second group led, by Dariusz Lisused, used the Plateau de Bure Interferometer in the French Alps to find water. In 2010, this team serendipitously detected water in APM 8279+5255, observing one spectral signature. Bradford's team was able to get more information about the water, including its enormous mass, because they detected several spectral signatures of the water." water, From above link :
Astronomers have found the largest and farthest water reservoir ever detected in space, according to the University of Colorado.

The discovery came through analyzing minuscule wavelengths by an international team of astronomers, including some from CU.

The water was found on a quasar, an energetic galactic entity, in the form of vapor, and the source of water is estimated to be 34 billion times the mass of the Earth.

"These findings are very exciting," said Jason Glenn, a CU associate professor and co-author of the study. "We not only detected water in the farthest reaches of the universe, but enough to fill Earth's oceans more than 100 trillion times." every where. From above link :
A distant, hyper-energetic black hole known as a quasar contains the largest reserve of water in the known universe, equivalent to 140 trillion times the water on Earth. The solution to our water crisis is only 12 billion light-years away!
