There have been a number of odd and bizarre theories for quasi-stellar radio sources, or "quasars". The current hypothesis is that they surround black holes in the centers of active galaxies.

In fact, we suspect that our own Milky Way galaxy has a supermassive black hole in the center, and that it may once have been an "active galaxy". If so, that explains why there are no ancient aliens in the galaxy; the radiation would have killed them all billions of years ago!

Quasars are thought to be the center of distant?

Quasars are thought to be the centers of distant galaxies where supermassive black holes are actively accreting matter. The intense energy emitted by this process makes quasars some of the brightest objects in the universe. Studying quasars can provide valuable insights into galaxy formation and evolution.


How a quasars are formed?

Quasars are thought to be distant super-massive black holes.


Can quasars be found in globular clusters or open clusters?

Quasars are related to supermassive black holes in the center of galaxies.


Why quasars are so bright?

Quasars appear starlike, but each emits more energy than 100 giant galaxies. They are thought to be at the centre of galaxies, their brilliance eminating from the stars and gas falling toward an immense black hole at their nucleus.


Can quasars be mistaken for stars since they're distant galaxies with an active nucleus at the center of it?

No they cannot be mistaken for stars as stars can be seen by the human eye & Quasars cannot.


Describe two key aspects of quasars?

Bright, distant, powerful, energetic, at the center of the galaxy.


What lies at the center of active galaxies or quasars?

quasars as explained in steven hawkings book "the brief history of the big bang to the black hole" states at the center of are galaxie is a massive black hole thousand of millions times larger then the sun and its gravatational pull is sopposedly the reason why are galaxie is spiraled.


Why are quasars so small?

Quasars are small because they are powered by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. The intense energy emitted by the accretion of matter onto the black hole creates a very compact and luminous source in the center of a galaxy.


Are distant objects in space called quarks or quasars?

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 year were quasars first discovered?

Are quasars the size of the solar system?

Yes. Quasars are the size of the solar system.
