NASA’s Hubble Gets the Best Image of Bright Quasar 3C 273 - Science@NASA
WEBNov 21, 2013 — This image from Hubble’s Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) is likely the best of ancient and brilliant quasar 3C 273, which resides in a giant elliptical galaxy in the constellation of Virgo (The Virgin).
3C 273 - Wikipedia
WEB3C 273 is a quasar located at the center of a giant elliptical galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. It was the first quasar ever to be identified and is the visually brightest quasar in the sky as seen from Earth, with an apparent visual magnitude of 12.9. [2]

Simulated Webb Images of Quasar and Galaxy Surrounding Quasar
WEBDec 8, 2021 — Illustration of a quasar in the early universe. Researchers will study the galaxies that surround three bright quasars in detail for the first time with the James Webb Space Telescope.
Chandra :: Photo Album :: H1821+643 :: March 21, 2024
WEBMar 21, 2024 — This composite image shows a quasar, a rare and extreme class of supermassive black hole, that's located about 3.4 billion light-years from Earth. At the center of the image is a bright, white, circular light, similar to the beam of a flashlight if it was pointed directly toward you.
Gravitationally Lensed Quasars - HubbleSite
WEBJan 8, 2020 — Quasars' Multiple Images Shed Light on Tiny Dark Matter Clumps. Each of these Hubble Space Telescope snapshots reveals four distorted images of a background quasar and its host galaxy surrounding the central core of a foreground massive galaxy.
NASA's Hubble Helps Astronomers Uncover the Brightest Quasar …
WEBJan 9, 2019 — Shining with the brilliance of 600 trillion Suns, the quasar is fueled by a supermassive black hole at the heart of a young galaxy in the process of forming. The image shows the quasar as it looked 12.8 billion years ago …
Mosaic of Gravitationally Lensed Quasars | HubbleSite
WEBThe multiple quasar images were produced by the gravity of the foreground galaxy, which is acting like a magnifying glass by warping the quasar’s light in an effect called gravitational lensing. Quasars are extremely distant cosmic streetlights produced by active black holes.

WEBDec 8, 2021 — They will obtain new measurements of the masses of their central supermassive black holes, detail the stars and composition of their host galaxies, and observe nearby galaxies to learn more about their “neighborhoods” in the early universe.
Quasars Rip Across Galaxies Like Tsunamis - NASA
WEBDec 15, 2020 — Using the unique capabilities of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, a team of astronomers has discovered the most energetic outflows ever witnessed in the universe. They emanate from quasars and tear across interstellar space like tsunamis, wreaking havoc on the galaxies in which the quasars live.
