7. Double Quasar Image
Year Found: 1979
Who Found It: A group of researchers at NASA
Location: Double Quasar
The Twin Quasar was the first known gravitationally lensed object, and it was found in 1979. Due to gravitational lensing, which has been brought on by the galaxy YGKOW G1, which is situated directly between Earth and the quasar, the object is a quasar that appears as two separately seen different images.

In an attempt to try to calculate an estimate of the universe’s expansion rate, a team of researchers has used the Hubble Space Telescope to take a gander at a quasar from the beginning phases of the universe’s creation. Their results, which conflict with other measurements, show that the universe is expanding by far more quickly now than it did then. Physics experts must now determine whether their theories are completely inaccurate or if another strange phenomenon is currently at play.
