A pair of quasars that existed when the universe was only 3 billion years old has been spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Astronomers used an array of telescopes to find the most massive radio jet in the early universe. The celestial object is ...

"We would like to understand the difference between these systems, which holds the clue to understand just how many cosmic ...

Ancient quasars seen by the James Webb Space Telescope technically shouldn’t exist, but one rare type of dark matter could ...

Astronomers have found the brightest known object in the universe—a glowing core of a galaxy, called a quasar, located 12 ...

These jets become elusive the farther back in time astronomers try to look because of the so-called cosmic microwave background. The ancient radiation, the earliest fossil of light from 380,000 years ...

Astronomers have discovered a massive, double-lobed radio jet stretching 200,000 light-years from a quasar that existed when ...

Abstract: Quasars in the Age of Time-Domain Astronomy: Black hole feeding, visible as quasars, is a critical ingredient in many fields from galaxy evolution to multi-messenger gravitational wave ...

As a result, they detected 19 strongly-lensed, dual and projected quasars. The finding was reported in a paper published Jan. 15 on the arXiv pre-print server. Quasars, or quasi-stellar objects ...
