A quasar is a disk of superheated material falling into a supermassive black hole. The radiation from a quasar is so intense that it actually pushes matter away from the black hole, preventing it from falling in. This process limits how fast a black hole can grow.

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 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.
How many quasars are there?
A Quasar is a powerfully energetic and distant galaxy with an active galactic nucleus surrounding a super massive black hole. Quasars show where massive black holes are growing rapidly (via accretion). These black holes grow in step with the mass of stars in their host galaxy.Therefore there are going to billions or trillions of stars - many more than our own galaxy (~400 billion).
What is the relationship between black holes and quasars?
The things that we observe as quasars are believed to be caused by huge black holes.
How a quasars are formed?
Quasars are thought to be distant super-massive black holes.
What do some scientist think cause quasars?
Some scientist think that quasars may be caused by black holes, but they are not sure how this happens. Please dont copy. Use your own words! - Anonymous <3
Can quasars be found in globular clusters or open clusters?
Quasars are related to supermassive black holes in the center of galaxies.
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.
Do black holes and quasars both have stars?
Each black hole and each quasar is the remnant of a single extinct star.
Can energy be produce from a black hole?

What do scientist think these quasar are?
Scientists think quasars are supermassive black holes in the process of consuming enormous amounts of matter.
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.
