The Galaxy and the Quasar

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

This image shows galaxy NGC 4319 and quasar Markarian 205. For decades, some astronomers debated if they were physically connected, which would challenge our understanding of redshift and cosmic distances. Most astronomers now believe they are not associated, and the quasar's high redshift indicates it is much more distant than the galaxy.
