That became clear when astronomers at the Keck Observatory in Hawaii eyed Djorgovski's puzzle with infrared detectors. "A lot of noise over relatively little," he admitted--though...

Or, he muses, his team may be looking at a quasar through a "very special" line of sight, a line that passes through a strange cloud of gas that accounts for its curious absorptions.
