Examples
- Astronomers use large radio telescopes to study the emissions of distant quasars in an effort to learn more about these enigmatic objects.
- Quasars are extremely distant, incredibly luminous, and incredibly mysterious celestial objects that scientists believe to be galaxies in their earliest stages.
- Observations have confirmed that a small portion of all known quasars possess intense beams that expel highly charged subatomic particles outward.
- While only the quasars at large distances can serve as celestial standard candles to enable research, cosmologists feel pressure to reassert accurate near-far patterns among adjacent extragalactic ones.
- Until about three decades ago astronomers often classed them simply as relatively luminous peculiar blue variable objects from celestial domains only they referred to then, only infrequently distinguishing particular peculiar patterns shared more intimately across similar sorts observed ever.
