Quasars, or "Quasi-stellar radio objects", are incredibly distant, extraordinarily bright radio sources. Because they are so distant, we're looking "back in time" to see them as they were billions of years ago.
We believe that quasars are - or were - active galactic nuclei, when the galaxies were forming their central supermassive black holes. If we could look back in time by 5 billion years, we would probably see a similar occurance here in the Milky Way. And if we could see those quasars as they are today - instead of seeing the light and radiation that they were generating when that light was new - we'd probably see that the object was a fairly ordinary galaxy with an "ordinary" super-massive black hole at the center.
Twin Quasar was created in 1979.
Quasar - Wendell Vaughn - was created in 1978.
Fire in the Sky - Quasar album - was created in 1981.
It is not.
a large redshift in the spectrum of the quasar.
Quasar Padamsee was born in 1978.
it depends on how you're using it. quasar sounds correct if it's a thing
A binary quasar is a pair of quasars which gravitationally interact with each other, unlike a standard double quasar, which does not interact.
The supermassive black hole in the center of a quasar is surrounded by an accretion disk - a disk of gas rotating around the black hole. There is friction among the gas particles; this is due to the fact that different parts move at different speeds.

quasar, are you doing this for homework :D
The diameter of a quasar is a few light-hours or a few light-days. A quasar consists of the immediate surroundings of a supermassive black hole.
