    The object itself was detected in ESO images dating back to 1980, but its identification as a quasar occurred only several decades later. [2]An automated analysis of 2022 data from the European Space Agency's Gaia satellite did not confirm J0529-4351 as too bright to be a quasar, and suggested it was a 16th magnitude star with a 99.98% probability.

    • Gigantophis is thought to be a member of the extinct snake family Madtsoiidae. Gigantophis is only known from a few vertebrae and the morphology of Madtsoiidae snakes are not very well known. However, Gigantophis has been estimated as one of the largest snakes to have lived. It was estimated between 9.3 and 10.7 metres (31 and 35 ft) in ...

    The idea that the emission was caused by a civilization was rejected when the radio source was later identified as one of the many varieties of a quasar. [ 3 ] The American folk rock band The Byrds whimsically reflected the original view that CTA-102 was a sign of extraterrestrial intelligence in their song "C.T.A.-102" from their 1967 album ...

    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.

    RX J1131-1231 is a distant, supermassive-black-hole-containing quasar located about 6 billion light years from Earth in the constellation Crater. [1] [2]In 2014, astronomers found that the X-rays being emitted are coming from a region inside the accretion disk located about three times the radius of the event horizon.

    After performing a number of statistical analyses on the quasar data, and finding extreme changes in the Huge-LQG membership and shape with small changes in the cluster finding parameters, he determined the probability that apparent clusters the size of the Huge-LQG would appear in a random assortment of quasars, by utilizing the similar ...
