Description: Quasar 3C 273
This combined X-ray and infrared view shows the starlike object associated
with the radio source 3C 273 and the luminous jet it has created. The jet is
also visible in the radio and visible parts of the spectrum. By 1963,
astronomers determined that the redshift of this quasar is so great that,
according to the Hubble law, it is nearly 2 billion ly from Earth.
