Default Quasar found 13 billion years away

John Hutchings et al has found a quasar (the most distant known)
at approx 13 billion years, z=6.43.
http://xxx.lanl.gov/PS_cache/arxiv/p...706.0914v1.pdf

Since the mass of the quasar is 500 million suns, and it has formed
in about 500 million years, it must have swallowed 1 sun/year
more or less.


It swallowed the MASS of 1 sun per year, on average. Perhaps mass which
had not yet formed stars.

Another data point. The universe just a few hundred million years
after the supposed "bang" looks more and more exactly like our own
neighborhood.


Are there any such QSOs nearby?
