                                          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.


            liant star," is highly compatible with the scientific description of 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-
            urally present in space, there can be no question of the burning of the
            brightness of quasars having anything to do with fire. The burning taking
            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
