"The most luminous objects in the universe keep getting more mysterious.
Astronomers have discovered a new type of quasar — an incredibly bright galactic core powered by a supermassive black hole — that current theory fails to predict.
Models predict that a quasar's light and heat should push nearby gas out from the center and toward the fringes of the host galaxy. The newly found quasars do demonstrate this behavior, but, surprisingly, some of the gas also appears to be falling back to the center, researchers said.
"The gas in the disk must eventually fall into the black hole to power the quasar, but what is often seen instead is gas blown away from the black hole by the heat and light of the quasar, heading toward us at velocities up to 20 percent of the speed of light," Hall said.
"If the gas is falling into the black hole, then we don't understand why it's so rare to see infalling gas," he added. "There's nothing else unusual about these quasars. If gas can be seen falling into them, why not in other quasars?"" LiveScience
For a universe that supposedly came from the same debris of the same source (big bang) there sure is a lot of DIVERSTIY in it's make up.....Unless of course, Hebrews 11:3 is correct--then that would explain all this diversity throughout the universe...

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God,
so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
