Up astronomers have detected a quasar that May be the oldest most Distant object yet discovered it was announced sunday. A nothing is certain in this business but that a almost certain a said Donald Schneider of the Institute for advanced study in Princeton. A a we re seeing it when it was very Young. When you look Back at these great distances you re looking very close to the  Schneider James Gunn of Princeton University and Maarten Schmidt of the California Institute of technology announced their discovery in the september Issue of the astronomical journal. The team used the 200-Inch Hale Telescope at Palomar Observatory in California. The discovery was made with a camera called the �?o4-shooter.�?� designed by Gunn the compact instrument allows astronomers to search Large areas of the sky for quasars believed to be the oldest and most Distant bodies in the Cosmos. The quasar More than 12 billion Light years from Earth appears to be the oldest and most Distant object found so far. A Light year is the distance Light moving 186,282 Miles per second travels in one year. Astronomers believe the universe exploded into existence in a a big bang 10 to 15 billion years ago. Since then they said the universe has been steadily expanding in All directions. And the newly discovered quasar Likely formed less than a billion years after the big bang. By studying changes in the Light generated by stars and galaxies astronomers can determine whether an object is approaching or receding from Earth and How fast it is travelling. Distant objects receding from the viewer show a shift toward the Low Energy red end of the Light spectrum much like the pitch of a police Siren drops after the car moves past the listener. The latest discovery indicates that Large celestial objects developed soon after the big bang Schneider said. By contrast the Earth Sage is estimated at a Mere 4.5 billion years. The quasars age and distance from Earth depend on the. Age of the universe. If the universe is 13 billion years old the image captured by the Hale Telescope is that of an object born about 900 million years after the big bang. For example the quasar was so far away that the Light detected by the 4-shooter took some 12 billion years to reach Earth. The faintest stars visible from Earth with the naked Eye Are 600,000 times brighter than the newly discovered quasar appears to be. If the object was As close As the visible stars it would appear to be As Bright As the Sun Schneider said. The quasars brilliance and its great distance imply an object the size a of Earth a solar system he said. Schmidt discovered the first known quasar a comparative baby Only 2 billion Light years from Earth in 1963. Since then dozens of a quasi Stellar radio sources a or quasars have been discovered at the Edge of the observable universe.
