You can see quasars 13 billion miles away. I doubt they mean that. They are probably talking about the galaxy or even less.
Quasars are VERY BRIGHT or so I’ve been told.
13 billion miles is 0.0022 light years. I believe we can see much further than that.
“You can see quasars 13 billion miles away.”
They are a LOT further away than that. Believe me you would NOT want to be 13 billion miles from a quasar!!! ;)
No, the observable universe is utterly gigantic compared to the Milky Way galaxy. They weren’t speaking of the Galaxy.
