A massive and extremely remote celestial object, emitting exceptionally large amounts of energy, and typically having a starlike image in a telescope. It has been suggested that quasars contain massive black holes and may represent a stage in the evolution of some galaxies.

So basically, it is said that Quasars contain black holes within the center of it.

When it comes to identifying the location of black holes, there is compelling evidence that black holes are scattered throughout space, in galaxies as stellar remnants, and in galactic cores as supermassive black holes; and possibly primordial ones, remnants from the universe's origin; when using the term "sky" one might have to specify whether this is a metaphor (in the night sky might be interpreted as a view to outer space). Curiously enough, it's entirely possible that black holes are being created very briefly inside Earth's upper atmosphere in the form of microscopic ones caused by collisions of extremely high energy cosmic rays - originating at distant sources capable of accelerating particles and nuclei to relativistic speeds, some of which reach Earth. Fortunately these would be very short-lived and quickly 'evaporate' doing us no harm.

What are quasars and where are they found in the universe?

All quasars are located at a great distance from us. Of the quasars discovered, they range from between 780 million and 28 billion light years away. Because of these distances and the velocity of light, we are seeing them early on in the creation of the Universe. They are very rare they have only found about 20 or so. See related link for more information.


Can energy be produce from a black hole?

Sure; please note that black holes are among the brightest objects in the Universe. For more details, do some reading about quasars. Briefly, some quasars shine as bright as a hundred galaxies - and a quasar is a black hole.


What would happen if the milky way black hole became active?

It would emit a lot of radiation. Some distant black holes (or more accurately, the area around the black holes) emit more radiation than an entire galaxy. Such black holes are known as quasars.


What is the temperature of quasars?

Quasars are thought to be galactic black holes which are releasing focused energy from an accretion disk. The temperature could be as high as hundreds of millions of kelvins, but is detected due to its extremely high luminosity.


What is black hole formula?

Do supermassive black holes swallow quasars?

No, a supermassive black hole is what makes a quasar.


Are there any discoveries of active black holes?

Yes. Several quasars have been discovered; they are black holes, and they are quite active.


What is a burst of light from a black hole?

Bursts of light from black holes are the result of the accretion (or "consumption") of matter by black holes. Quasars are an example of this.

That probably refers to a quasar. Quasars are related to gigantic black holes.


Are the most massive and densest singular objects in the universe?

Probably the supermassive black holes that are believed to be at the centers of many (perhaps most) large galaxies. These may be related to quasars.
