THE radio source 3C273 has been identified1,2 with a star-like object of about thirteenth magnitude having a faint jet. However, the optical spectrum of the star contains a number of broad emission features which can be explained as hydrogen, magnesium and oxygen lines with a red-shift δλ/λ0 of 0.158 (refs. 2 and 3). Schmidt suggests that the stellar object is either a nearby ultradense star or, more probably, the abnormally luminous nuclear region of a galaxy at a distance of about 500 megaparsecs. The second possibility would make 3C273 the most luminous object known.
