But the realization that quasars were really out at the edge of the observable universe, and thus must be far brighter than the brightest galaxy, posed a riddle that nobody has yet been able to answer with certainty: What are they?

Shining with the equivalent of 420 trillion suns, the new quasar is seven times brighter than the most distant quasar known (which is 13 billion years away).
