Yes, a quasar is a galaxy with a super-massive black hole in its center. The hole being invisible, all light vanishing from the great gravity. The quasar itself, among the brightest, most luminous objects in the universe, is being powered by an accretion disc around the black hole.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Quasar in a sentence?
Astronomers have detected a quasar in a distant galaxy.
What is at center of a quasar?
A Supermassive black hole .
Are quasar's different from supermassive black holes?
Yes. In simplistic terms, a quasar is the result of a supermassive black hole. The gravitational attraction of the supermassive black hole on the galaxy, causes the effect of the quasar. See related questions for more information.
A quasar is a type of?
A type of galaxy is probably the answer you are looking for. However, a quasar is actually an active galactic nucleus.
Is a blazar an active elliptical galaxy with a supermassive black hole at the center?
A blazar is an elliptical galaxy with a supermassive black hole at the center.
What is the power source of a quasar?
The power source of a quasar is a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy. As material falls into the black hole, it forms an accretion disk that releases immense amounts of energy, generating the intense radiation emitted by quasars.
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 at the center of every galaxy?
At the center of every galaxy is a supermassive black hole.
What does a quasar evolve into?
A quasar evolves into a galaxy as it exhausts its fuel supply of supermassive black holes at its core. Once the black hole stops accreting matter and emitting large amounts of energy, the quasar phase ends, and it becomes a mature galaxy.
Is Betelgeuse a quasar?
No, Betelgeuse is not a quasar. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star located in the constellation of Orion, while a quasar is a highly energetic and distant active galactic nucleus powered by a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy.
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.
