6 Quasar Basics Size: Can get as big as one light-year across.
Distance from Earth: As far as 15 billion light-years away. Classification: A special type of active galactic nucleus (AGN). Redshift: Very high. (Redshift is distance an object is away from us, or the speed it is traveling away from us.

9 Quasars – Food for the Mind
Special General Objects in space time follow straight paths, expect when forced to curve by another object. 13 Billion Light Years To us an instant, because anything moving at light speed to us takes an instant to get to its destination. Whether 13 miles, or 13 billion light years. Einstein’s Theories of Relativity
