Hubble unexpectedly finds double quasar in distant universe

The early universe was a rambunctious place where galaxies often bumped into each other and even merged together. Using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and other space and ground-based observatories, astronomers investigating these developments have made an unexpected and rare discovery: a pair of gravitationally bound quasars, both blazing away inside two merging galaxies. They existed when the universe was just 3 billion years old.
