The Twin Quasar or Old Faithful is also known as Q0957+561, or QSO 0957+561.
Q0957+561 A (QSO 0957+561 A) and Q-057+561 B (QSO 0957+561 B) is a double-imaged quasar, meaning that an intervening mass concentration between Earth and the quasar bends light so that two images of the quasar appear in the sky.
This is known as gravitational lensing, and is a consequence of Einsteinian warped space-time.

This is the second time that Old Faithful, the first known micro-quasar in our galaxy, the Milky Way, has been observed to be acting strangely.
By comparison, Old Faithful, a micro-quasar called GRS 1915+105 in the constellation Aquila (the eagle), has in the past produced flares, or eruptions, as few as 20 seconds apart.
The Old Faithful micro-quasar first revealed itself as a bright X-ray source in 1992, and in 1994 radio observations found jets streaking away from the fl hole at more than 90 percent of the speed of light.

Quasars nose was a little shorter than the full bred, and his tailed curled in a backward C rather than full curl.
Quasar would lie down with a cob, carefully grip a bit of the sheath at the open end, peel it back and eat the corn methodically down the cob just like you or I. then it would be another leaf, peeled all the way back like a banana.
Quasar would keep carefully comparing the two inequities until he figured the offering was equitable with the work done, Then off would go the chin and you were back in business with the whatever it was.

 Extrasolar planet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A microlensing event in 1996 of the gravitationally lensed quasar Q0957+561, observed by R.
Schild in the A lobe of the double imaged quasar, has led to a controversial, and unconfirmable speculation that a 3 Earth mass planet is possibly in the unknown lensing galaxy, between Earth and the quasar.
In 1999, HD 209458b was the first extrasolar planet seen transiting its parent star, conclusively proving that the radial velocity measurements suspected to be planets actually were planets.

The quasar lies at redshift z=1.41, while the lensing galaxy lies at redshift z=0.355 (7.8 billin ly).
This would be the most distant planet, if it could be confirmed, where the lensing galaxy is.

It is a T Tauri star with a mass approximately 70 percent of the mass of the Sun and is only 1 million years old.
One question raised by the detection of extrasolar planets is why so many of the detected planets are gas giants which, in comparison to Earth's solar system, are unexpectedly close to the orbited star.
In 1999, HD 209458b was the first exoplanet seen transitting its parent star, conclusively proving that the radial velocity measurements that were planets actually were planets.
