  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.
