Observational cosmology:  Through a glass brightly

Andrew Blain1

The record for the most distant object in the Universe is broken regularly, but the record for the object with the largest apparent luminosity has been much more durable, resting1 with IRASF10214+4724 since 1991. But a new champion has emerged — as described by Irwin et al.2 in a forthcoming paper, APM08279+5255 appears to be ten times more luminous.
