The "nucleus".
The visible part of distant galaxies is the collection of stars, gas, and dust within the galaxy. These components emit light that reaches our telescopes, allowing us to observe and study the structure and properties of the galaxies.

No, quasars are not part of the solar system. Quasars are extremely distant and energetic objects located in the far reaches of the universe, millions or billions of light years away from our solar system. They are powered by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies.
Scientists believe that galaxies formed earlier in the universe's history, with the most distant galaxies being some of the first to have formed after the Big Bang. Studying these distant galaxies can provide insights into the early stages of galaxy formation and evolution.
They study distant galaxies because they want to know whats out in other galaxies and how many planets it has
Scientists study distant galaxies to understand the formation, evolution, and properties of galaxies over time. By observing galaxies that are far away, they can explore the universe at different epochs and gain insights into how galaxies have changed and evolved since the early universe. Studying distant galaxies also helps scientists refine theories about the laws of physics and the nature of the universe as a whole.
Moving away from us
Away from us.
There are distant galaxies all around us - in all directions, and at varying distances.
The number of stars, as in distant "suns", are large. In our solar system, there is one star. In our galaxy, there are many, many stars. In all the visible galaxies, the number is yet larger. And what about all the presumed galaxies beyond our vision?
Gravitational lensing
Briefly, the Steady State theory assumes that the Universe looked the same in the past as it does now. Observations of distant galaxies showed that this is not the case - distant galaxies are quite different to the ones that are closer by. Note that if you look at distant galaxies, you are observing the past of the Universe, because of the time it takes light to get here. That evidence played a part, but it was the detection of the "cosmic microwave background radiation". That was what convinced most astronomers that the Big Bang Theory was correct.
