Quasars: Near Versus Far
All observed characteristics of quasars are customarily interpreted using the standard Big Bang model and the assumption that their redshifts are primarily due to the expansion of the universe. These same characteristics can also be interpreted using alternative models in which quasar redshifts are not cosmological. An article by Meta Research, Inc., a scientific non-profit corporation.

The Cosmological Constant and the Redshift of Quasars
We explain the reason for which quasars appear to be unusual objects and have a large redshift, while being physically much closer to us than usually claimed. We explain how the redshift compatible with the luminosity distance relationship observed in galaxies is not observed in quasars. An article by Paul Marmet.

Sloan Digital Sky Survey's SkyServer Advanced Science Project - Quasars
One of the principal goals of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey is to find the most distant objects ever observed. The light from these distant objects has taken billions of years to reach us. So when we look at them, we are seeing them as they appeared billions of years ago. We are effectively looking backward in time. Looking at these objects can tell us about the early history of the universe.
