Double Quasars Reveal Galactic Collision in Ancient Universe
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has spotted rare “double quasars” in the distant universe, implying a catastrophic galactic collision in ancient times.
Peering back 10 billion years into the universe’s history, astronomers found a pair of quasars that appear to be a single object. But with the crisp view provided by the HST, the pair can be resolved as two quasars very close to each other, according to a statement.
The research team believes the double quasars reside in the cores of two merging galaxies.
Quasars are powered by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. The black holes actively devour nearby materials, and this strong accretion process unleashes a tremendous amount of energy in the form of radiation, easily outshining the entire host galaxy.

Quasar® supports a reliable, expandable and robust architecture that provides the ability to QC massive File based content volumes at lightning speed on Cloud - Venera Technologies
Burbank, California, USA., March 31, 2021 - /PressReleasePoint/ - Today, Venera Technologies announced it has achieved a milestone in continued expansion and enhancements of Quasar, its native cloud QC solution. It performed a ‘real life’ scenario of successfully processing one thousand files in the cloud simultaneously, proving the extent of the robustness and scalability of its architecture.
Quasar is the first native cloud QC service in the market, where its dynamic scalability, high level of security, and extensive QC capabilities, has set it apart in the quality control and content validation market. Its advanced features like QC of 4K content, HDR (Dolby Vision, HDR-10+), IMF packages, Harding PSE validation along with advanced video and au
Astronomers Discover By Far the Most Distant Known ‘Radio-Loud’ Quasar
Quasars are among the most extreme astrophysical objects in our universe. They contain supermassive black holes and lie at the centers of galaxies, where they quickly consume nearby materials and emit enormous amounts of energy.
A small percentage of quasars also drive powerful radio jets, which can travel at nearly the speed of light.
Now astronomers have discovered a quasar that is by far the most distant one with powerful jets.
Using the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), a team of astronomers found the quasar, dubbed P172+18, about 13 billion light-years from Earth, according to a statement.
