What does the red spectrum tell us about quasars?

I guess we can use another technical error to justify it: if they're fighting aroud quasars then there must be additional galaxies involved!

Quasars are the brightest objects we know of. A quasar can be thousands of times brighter than an entire galaxy. If this quasar were to be only 30 light-years away, about the distance to Pollux, it would shine in our sky with the brightness of the Sun. (3/3)

Measles cases in the U.S. have passed 5,000 this year.
The CDC has confirmed 5,182 cases as of November 5, the highest annual total since 1991. Infections have been reported in 45 states and Washington, D.C., with additional cases among international visitors.

I’m pretty sure Quasars are those things they occasionally set to Stun (but, just as often, don’t) in Star Trek

Alt: Are you ACTUALLY asking? They’re like hyper-eruptive cosmic events in which a single point of light ‘burns’ brighter than its entire galaxy for a time. They’re intense. You don’t want to be near them in distance or time (ie space-time)

"We just want! To study! Fucking quasars!"
the thing i come back to, over and over--which stuff like LOWER DECKS got, and so much other latter-day trek has forgotten--is that the whole idea of trek is that they exist in a genuinely horrifying universe, but *choose* to pursue peace and diplomacy anyways...
and it works.
and it works.
The starkest thing about TNG compared to most space opera today is how much it presents the eruption of violence as a total catastrophe, rather than something awesome bsky.app/profile/norm...

it's never too late! I'm living proof!
Even if you don't do it in a formal sense, there is plenty of available data out there that you can get stuck into some basic analysis! (e.g. plot the brightness of quasars over time to study their variability light curves)
