NASA's Hubble Space Telescope caught a single
quasar in space producing images of five separate
stars for the very first time. Bodies with a high
density –a group of galaxies here– produce more
than one image by giving rise to the gravitational
lens effect, bending the light from objects behind
them, in this case quasars.

as "bright, stellar bodies". 37 In addition, it is mentioned of "giving off
light even if no fire touches it." It is probable that this is a reference to the
way quasars burn without fire, ie., nuclear fusion. Since oxygen is not nat-

place here does so as hydrogen atoms are compressed and produce heli-
um. The energy released during this process then illuminates space.
The expression "light upon light" in the verse may well
