Astronomical objects of all scales ranging from supermassive stars via galaxy nuclei and quasars to the universe as a whole are described on its basis.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This reference frame is based on observations of satellites and celestial radio sources known as quasars made from various co-ordinated stations around the globe.
