it literally made me do this passage for the drill in the previous curriculum section....

why is it phrased in a way that makes it seem that something other than quasars has to have more light than 90 B suns and is 500 m light years away ? Meaning the 90b sun light thing doesn't apply to quasars, but only for something to appear like quasars.

Ask any prof whos class u did well in. Even if they barely/don't rmbr u they will likely write you a reference if you performed well. They may also ask you for an outline on what to write, resume etc. Dont stress about it, its not hard to get references. Just email your professors instead of stressing about rejection. Taking the step towards contacting them will remove that stress.
