Yes, in 1963, astronomer Maarten Schmidt identified that the object known as 3C 273 was not a star but rather a quasar, a highly luminous and distant active galactic nucleus powered by a supermassive black hole. His work demonstrated that quasars emitted enormous amounts of energy, far exceeding that of typical stars, and he was able to measure its redshift to determine its distance from Earth, confirming its status as a distant galaxy rather than a stellar object. This discovery significantly advanced our understanding of the universe and the nature of active galaxies.
