In a quasar, while the environment is extremely hot, the water vapor still exists due to its specific conditions. The quasar emits immense energy, heating the surrounding gas and dust, creating a region with water vapor that is described as “unusually warm and dense” compared to typical conditions in galaxies like the Milky Way, even at about minus 63 degrees Fahrenheit[1].
Water can remain in vapor form because the presence of such high energy prevents immediate condensation, allowing it to exist despite the high temperatures in the vicinity of the supermassive black hole that powers the quasar[1].
