Yes, the Quasar is a huge jump into the past, and your doubt is legitimate about the influence of objects which may not have been existing for a very long time.

Nevertheless, we don't know exactly how this influence folds out. If the influence takes place in a manner similar to the light beams, we are now seeing the visual influence of objects which are no more existing. Their light exists though, an electromagnetic emanation of such objects, and the light to us (and to the scinetists) is real, it's photons, waves, hitting our earth, carrying information about the objects. Very weak photons but enough to understand a littel of ther long-dead source.

The astrological influence may hypothetically be Greater. It probably propagates in different ways than light, but we cannot rule it otu that it is still active, like the influence of light is active 8otherwise we would have no information of such objects).
