That must refer to a quasar - however, the claim that it is "a thousand times brighter" is somewhat doubtful. A quasar may seem brighter than it is, (a) because of gravitational lensing, and (b) because the jet is pointed towards us. In any case, a quasar is a small region in a galaxy, which is often brighter than an entire normal galaxy.
