A few decades ago, there was great controversy among astronomers over the question of quasar distances, with some arguing that quasars are much nearer than application of Hubble's law would seem to imply. Why do nearly all astronomers now agree that quasars really are quite far away? - ️️We now have images and spectra that clearly show quasars to be embedded at the centers of distant galaxies and within distant galaxy clusters. A quasar's spectrum is hugely redshifted. What do most astron...

The radio lobes that flank some radio galaxies produce mainly - synchrotron radiation. The fact that many radio lobes emit more intensely from the side away from the galaxy suggests that - they are created by jets from the galaxy. The central galaxy in a double-lobed radio source is usually - a giant elliptical galaxy. The hot gas of a radio lobe could be held together by - collision with the intergalactic medium. Head-tail galaxies are - a, b and c. If the red shifts of quasars arise f...

all of the following are true. which of these gives evidence that quasars were more common in the early stages of the universe? - ️️they are more common at very great distances approximately how far is the sun from the center of the galaxy? - ️️27,000 light years Based on counting the number of galaxies in a small patch of the sky and multiplying by the number of such patches needed to cover the entire sky, the total number of galaxies in the observable universe is estimated to be appr...
