OQ 172 (OHIO Q 172) is a quasar [1] located in the constellation of Boötes. It has a redshift of (z) 3.544, [2] making it one of the most distant quasars at the time of its discovery by astronomers in 1973. [3] This object was the record holder for almost a decade, before being surpassed by PKS 2000-330 in 1982 located at the redshift of (z) 3 ...
The first true quadruple quasar system was discovered in 2015 at a redshift z = 2.0412 and has an overall physical scale of about 200 kpc (roughly 650,000 light-years). [74] A multiple-image quasar is a quasar whose light undergoes gravitational lensing, resulting in double, triple

RX J1131-1231 is the name of the complex, quasar, host galaxy and lensing galaxy, together. The quasar's host galaxy is also lensed into a Chwolson ring about the lensing galaxy. The four images of the quasar are embedded in the ring image. Cloverleaf: 4 [3] Brightest known high-redshift source of CO emission [4] QSO B1359+154: 6
APM 08279+5255 was initially identified as a quasar in 1998 during an Automatic Plate Measuring Facility (APM) survey to find carbon stars in the galactic halo.The combination of its high redshift (z=3.87) and brightness (particularly in the infrared) made it the most luminous object yet seen in the universe.
Iron ore (banded iron formation) Manganese ore – psilomelane (size: 6.7 × 5.8 × 5.1 cm) Lead ore – galena and anglesite (size: 4.8 × 4.0 × 3.0 cm). Ore is natural rock or sediment that contains one or more valuable minerals, typically including metals, concentrated above background levels, and that is economically viable to mine and process.
Hajigak Mine is the best known and largest iron oxide deposit in Afghanistan, located near the Hajigak Pass, with its area divided between Maidan Wardak and Bamyan provinces. It has the biggest untapped iron ore deposits of Asia .
In the winter of 1907, management instigated a new control system, insisting miners wear a numbered lead tag when in the mines. [7] This was strongly resisted by the workers. They met in a large-scale assembly at the only place not owned by the mining company—the ice of Long Lake ( Langvatnet )—on January 13, 1907, and founded the first ...
