All observed quasars have redshifts between 0.06 and 6.5.

Using Hubble's law, it can be shown that they are between 780 million and 28 billion light years away (in terms of comoving distance).

How far are quasars away from us?

Quasars can be very, very, very far away. And they are extremely bright. We've seen quasars that are 12 billion light years away from Earth (a light year is how far light travels in one year, and light travels at about 128 billion kilometers a second). Most quasars are actually big, bright galaxies shining from millions, or even billions of light years away from here.


How do you know that quasars are not just nearby stars?

The light from quasars - all quasars - is shifted far to the red side of the spectrum. This means that they are moving away from us, at a very high rate of speed. They cannot be "nearby", for that, and a lot of other sound, scientific reasons.


Are quasars part of your solar system?

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.


What are quasars and where are they found in the universe?

All quasars are located at a great distance from us. Of the quasars discovered, they range from between 780 million and 28 billion light years away. Because of these distances and the velocity of light, we are seeing them early on in the creation of the Universe. They are very rare they have only found about 20 or so.

Why are quasars only found in very distant parts of the universe?

The evidence for the extreme distance is the extreme redshift. Also, in many cases, a coincidence has been found between a quasar and a galaxy.The evidence for the extreme distance is the extreme redshift.
