3030319

3030319 is a notable astronomical object located in the constellation of Ursa Major. It was discovered in 2010 by a team of astronomers using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The object is classified as a quasar, a type of active galactic nucleus that emits enormous amounts of energy due to the accretion of matter onto a supermassive black hole at its center.

The quasar 3030319 is situated approximately 12 billion light-years away from Earth. Its redshift value, z = 3.030319, indicates that the light we observe from this quasar has been traveling through space for about 12 billion years, providing astronomers with a glimpse into the early universe. This makes 3030319 one of the most distant and ancient quasars known to science.

The study of 3030319 offers valuable insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes in the early universe. Its high redshift and luminosity make it a key target for further astronomical research, helping scientists understand the processes that governed the cosmos during its infancy. Ongoing observations and analyses continue to reveal more about the properties and behavior of this remarkable celestial object.
