Red quasars are quasars with optical colors that are redder than normal quasars, thought to be the result of moderate levels of dust extinction within the quasar host galaxy. Infrared surveys have demonstrated that red quasars make up a substantial fraction of the total quasar population.
Twin Quasar: 1979 Lensed into 2 images The lens is a galaxy known as YGKOW G1: First quasar found with a jet with apparent superluminal motion 3C 279: 1971 [25] [26] [27] First quasar found with the classic double radio-lobe structure 3C 47: 1964 First quasar found to be an X-ray source 3C 273: 1967 [39] First "dustless" quasar found
Quasars, though, are on the small end of the supermassive black hole size class—sometimes just a few days across, or about 1,000 of the distance between Earth and the Sun, Space.com explains ...
PKS 0438-436, also known as PKS J0440-4333, is a quasar located in constellation Caelum.With a high redshift of 2.86, [1] the object is located 11.2 billion light-years from Earth [2] and is classified as a blazar due to its flat-spectrum radio source, [3] (in terms of the flux density as (F v ~ V-a) with α < 0.5 and its optical polarization.
Quasars, Redshifts and Controversies is a 1987 book by Halton Arp, an astronomer famous for his Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies (1966). [1] Arp argued that many quasars with otherwise high redshift are somehow linked to close objects such as nearby galaxies .

On "River Monsters," Jeremy Wade traveled to South America to investigate where a Bolivian man named Oscar was killed when face was ripped off while swimming across the South American River.
APM 08279+5255 was initially identified as a quasar in 1998 during an Automatic Plate Measuring Facility (APM) survey to find carbon stars in the galactic halo.The combination of its high redshift (z=3.87) and brightness (particularly in the infrared) made it the most luminous object yet seen in the universe.
