"...it is more than 13 billion light years from the Earth." How many miles is that?

Indications of its presence took so long to get here it may already be gone.

Then there is The Great Attractor which is a million times or a billion times more massive. Why? Because everything in the Universe, so far observed, including the mentioned Quasar, is moving toward it ... fast. We are doomed in a few trillion years.

Thanks.
Pale Blue Dot
"The Pale Blue Dot is an iconic photograph of Earth taken on Feb. 14, 1990, by NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft. Voyager 1 was speeding out of the solar system — beyond Neptune and about 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometers) from the Sun — when mission managers commanded it to look back toward home for a final time."
Intergrated circuits (chips) I helped to make in the mid-60's are on that space craft.

Galaxy OJ 287 has a black hole with 18 billion solar masses orbited by another black hole with 150 million solar masses. Every once in a while it would flare up with one trillion times the normal brightness. One they figured out what was happening they predicted a flare up to within 15 minutes.
I wrote to one of the guys in this study. At its slowest the smaller black hole is moving at 10% the speed of light. At its quickest 25%. Needless to say when this slams into the accretion disc of the big black hole it makes for quite the impact!

The farther back in time an object is, the more RED SHIFTED it appears.
Until it eventually becomes INFRA-RED and we are unable to view it with our eyes and must rely on infra-red sensors and cameras to detect it.
Now, if MY theory is correct, we should be able to see this same object in the exact opposite direction COMING AT US.
It would be extremely BLUE SHIFTED into the ultraviolet or beyond and we would be unable to see it without the use of ultra-violet detectors and cameras.
The ultimate “What GOES around, COMES around!”............................
