Its photons just started hitting Earth. It is 13 billion LY away. It
took 9 billion years to form,and in 1.2 billion years it will reach its critical mass and give life to another universe. It is a quasar. As our telescopes get stronger and more gravity lensing is used quasars will outshine galaxies at distances of 15 billion LY. They are old,but their photons are as young as those when you light a match bert |
