What else can I help you with?
Is a quasar a type of galaxy?
No. A Quasar is a Black hole in center of some Galaxies. I think our Galaxy has one of them.
What is bigger a quasar or a black hole?
It depends, Black holes can go from being microscopic to supermassive black holes that entire galaxies revolve around. It all depends on which black hole and which quasar.
Are all quasars galaxies?
A quasar is not a galaxy. A quasar is an intense energy source associated with a supermassive black hole that is actively feeding. All quasars are located at the centers of galaxies.
In what constellation is the center of the galaxy?
Not "the" quasar, but "a" quasar - there are many. A quasar is associated with a supermassive black hole, and those are generally at the center of galaxies.
How much brighter is quasar than the sun?
Immeasurably more brilliant. A quasar (quasi-stellar radio source) is as bright as some entire GALAXIES. We believe that a quasar is an actively-expanding super-massive black hole, and that these black holes may exist in the centers of many or most large galaxies - including our own Milky Way.
What is a quasar and what does it have to do with a black hole?
A quasar is a galaxy that is radiating massive amount of radioactive energy. A quasar MAY have a black hole at it's center. A black hole is just dead star that collapsed in on itself.
Do all quasars have host galaxies in them?
Quasars do not have galaxies in them, quasars are at the hearts of galaxies. All quasars are located in galaxies, as a quasar involves massive amounts of material falling into a supermassiv black hole. Neither of these can be found outside of a galaxy.
What is bigger a quasar or a supermassive black hole?
The quasar is bigger. A quasar is a disk of superheated matter that surrounds a supermassive black hole. The mass of the black hole may be greater than that of the disk, but it is compacted into a smaller space.
How does a quasar work?
A quasar is believed to have a supermassive black hole at its center. The radiation is emitted outside the black hole's event horizon - from matter that is falling into the black hole.
Is quasar a feature of the sun?
No. A quasar is an object observed in some distant galaxies believed to be a supermassive black hole, millions to billions of times the mass of the sun, feeding on superheated matter. A quasar is many times more powerful than the sun.
Is a quasar bigger than a massive black hole?
Yes. A quasar is a disk of superheated material that sour rounds a supermassive black hole.
Is the biggest quasar able to destroy the biggest supermassive black hole?
No, the biggest quasar is not capable of destroying the biggest supermassive black hole. Quasars are powered by the accretion of material onto supermassive black holes, so they are closely related. The interaction between a quasar and its host black hole is complex but does not result in the destruction of the black hole.
