Bet you didn't know! (space facts)

Perseverance is currently looking for water and other cool stuff on Mars.
but, back in 2011, astronomers found an enormous water vapor cloud some 12 billion light-years from Earth.
The cloud is the oldest and the largest source of water anywhere that we know of.
It holds 140 trillion times the amount of water that is contained in Earth’s oceans
—an almost impossible-to-conceive-of vastness.
Perhaps the coolest thing of all is that this vapor cloud is “feeding” a black hole
and may also contain enough gases, like carbon monoxide,
to help that black hole grow to six times its current size!

They have found water vapor clouds 12 billion light year away from us … it is somehow always easy to give us things billions lights years away from us but somehow the telescope can’t get something closer? Let’s say 4 light year away Alpha Centauri A & B ? What on earth have the telescope shown them to know there id a cloud? I can’t even see the cloud above my house and they are feet away from me

I know that, it’s a massive ocean in space
