An extended Lyα halo is detected around the z=6.64 BAL quasar J0910-0414, extending to 11 pkpc with rotation-like kinematics, lower velocity dispersion than the host core, and contributing 55% of the total Lyα flux due to central absorption.

Quasar nebulae at z~1 are diverse objects shaped by galaxy interactions, host gas, group environments, and quasar activity, with the largest irregular ones most tied to interactions.
Lya nebulae around unobscured quasars are more extended, asymmetric, and show steeper velocity dispersion declines than those around obscured quasars, supporting an evolutionary AGN model at cosmic noon.
