How does knowing how a star forms help an astronomer study the origins of the universe?

Quasars are the bright centers of young galaxies. Many quasars we can view today existed billions of years ago, and their light is just now reaching us. They are a snapshot of the past, and tell us about how galaxies formed. From wikipedia: "While there was initially some controversy over the nature of these objects, there is now a scientific consensus that a quasar is a compact halo of matter surrounding the central supermassive black hole of a young galaxy."


How is it possible that the universe could have existed for an infinite amount of time in the same state if galaxies are continuously receding from each other?

The universe has not existed in the same state for an infinite amount of time, that would be the steady state theory, which has been replaced by the big bang theory. The galaxies are moving away from each other because the universe is expanding at an increasing rate. It has been expanding since the big bang happened 13.7 billion years ago.
