Yes Quasar is a ending galaxy which burts with everthing inside it thus the luminousity is the highest.But even when it hasn't bursted it is brighter and more powerful than other galaxy more than a Hypernova too.

Quasi Stellar objects, quasars are at the center of galaxies and emit more light the the entire galaxy it self. They emit massive amounts of radio energy and can be seen from over 10 billion light years away with a pair of binoculars on earth.

More precisely, quasars are high-energy galaxy CORES, compact enough to appear starlike, yet emitting more radiation than a million "ordinary" galaxies.

Quasars are the most luminous, powerful, and energetic objects known in the universe.

If that is your definition of high energy, then yes.

Are there a lot of quasars in the universe?

There are about 12,000 known quasars today. I'm sure that as our telescopes get better, that number will go up. As a guess, I would estimate a lot.


What is the most powerful star in the universe?

Depends on how you define power. If we take it as transferring energy then it will have to be the most luminous. So the most luminous star known in the Universe is R136a1


Does a quasar have very little energy?

No. Quasars have the highest energy output of any type of object in the known universe.


What is the non luminous material?

The objects/bodies which do not produces(emits) light on their own are known as non-luminous material. For ex- moon


What is a distant extremely bright galaxy with the black hole at Center called?

The most luminous and distant objects known to science are called quasars and generally accepted to be the nuclei of active galaxies, or in other words supermassive black holes with their relativistic polar jets aimed towards earth.


Why were quasars first called ''radios stars''?

Quasars are the brightest and most distant objects in the known universe. In the early 1960's, quasars were referred to as radio stars because they were discovered to be a strong source of radio waves. In fact, the term quasar comes from the words, "quasi-stellar radio source". Today, many astronomers refer to these objects as quasi-stellar objects, or QSOs. As the resolution of our radio and optical telescopes became better, it was noticed that these were not true stars but some type of as yet unknown star-like objects. It also appeared that the radio emissions were coming from a pair of lobes surrounding these faint star-like objects. It was also discovered that these objects were located well outside our own galaxy. Quasars are very mysterious objects. Astronomers today are still not sure exactly what these objects are. What we do know about them is that they emit enormous amounts of energy. They can burn with the energy of a trillion suns. Some quasars are believed to be producing 10 to 100 times more energy than our entire galaxy. All of this energy seems to be produced in an area not much bigger than our solar system.


What is the largest explosion ever recorded in the universe?

Quasars are the most luminous, powerful, and energetic objects known in the universe. They tend to inhabit the very centers of active young galaxies and can emit up to a thousand times the energy output of the Milky Way. Basically, they are galaxies with extremely luminous nuclei outshining their parent galaxy by several hundred times, caused by a high redshift source of electromagnetic energy (radio waves, visible light, etc.) at a compact region in the center of the galaxy surrounding the theoretical supermassive black hole. The most luminous quasars radiate at a rate that can exceed the output of average galaxies, roughly equivalent to one trillion suns!The energy source to such stupendous activity is theoretically considered to be an accretion of matter into a supermassive black hole expelled as pure energy in cataclysmic bursts generated outside the event horizon by gravitational stresses and immense friction on the incoming material.In answer to your question, the most extreme quasar currently known for being the least distant, optically brightest from Earth, and the most powerful quasar radio source is 3C 273.
