Redshift 5.8: A New Farthest Quasar

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The distance record for a quasar has been broken again. This speck is currently the most distant object found in the universe, clocked at redshift 5.82. While the exact relationship between redshift and distance is still being refined, higher redshifts mean greater distance. This quasar is likely billions of light-years away, seen when the universe was less than a billion years old.
