Description

The Quasars are at enormous distances because they are a product of the early Universe, functioning as authentic time machines. It is possible for an observer in a galaxy in the neighborhood of Quasar 3C 273 to contemplate the Milky Way and see it in a primitive state of evolution, perhaps as a Quasar!

You can learn a little more here:

1. How to calculate the speed of the Quasar 3C 273?

2. How to calculate the distance to the Quasar 3C 273?

3. What is the total amount of radiation emitted?

4. How to determine the size of the jet?

5. How big is Quasar?

A special thanks to Frank Schmitz for letting me know the existence of the course Analyzing the Universe.
