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."

Quasars are very distant so we can view how galaxy evolution occurred in the past.

That's because light takes time to travel to us.

In fact we can see very distant objects as they were billions of years ago.
