2. The quasar that appears the brightest in our sky, 3C 273, is located at a distance of 2.4 billion lightyears. The Sun would have to be viewed from a distance of 1300 light-years to have the same apparent magnitude as 3C 273. Using the inverse square law for light, estimate the luminosity of 3C 273 in solar units.
