There have been some suggestions that the objects called quasars might be extremely active galaxies with unusually supermassive black holes at their centers at such great distance from us that it is not possible for telescopes to resolve their galactic structure, making them just look like very bright stars (quasi-stellar objects). However this has not been verified.

If these suggestions are correct, these extremely active galaxies must be so distant that the light we are seeing from them must have been emitted only a short time after the big bang began, in the initial cycle of star formation, which would make them the earliest galaxies formed and likely very young galaxies. However if they are this young these extremely active galaxies might have galactic structures so different from the galaxies we are familiar with that even if our telescopes could resolve them, we might not recognize them as galaxies.

A distant galaxy with a black hole in its center?

Most galaxies, including our own, have black holes in their centers.


Are quasars part of your solar system?

No, quasars are not part of the solar system. Quasars are extremely distant and energetic objects located in the far reaches of the universe, millions or billions of light years away from our solar system. They are powered by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies.


Do all galaxies have black holes in the center?

Not all galaxies have black holes in their centers, but many large galaxies, including our own Milky Way, are believed to have supermassive black holes at their centers.


Do galaxies have black holes in the center?

Yes, many galaxies have supermassive black holes at their centers.


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.


Are quasars extremely luminous but extremely distant objects?

Yes, quasars are extremely luminous astronomical objects found in the distant universe. They are powered by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, making them some of the brightest and most energetic sources in the cosmos.


What is the distant galaxy with a black hole in the middle?

How do you get a black hole?

Virtually all the ones we know anything about probably formed as the result of the death of a very large star, or at the centers of galaxies. Most if not all galaxies have super massive black holes at their centers.


Does every galaxy have a black hole at its center?

Not every galaxy has a black hole at its center. While many galaxies do have supermassive black holes at their centers, there are also galaxies that do not have black holes.


Do all galaxies have black holes?

Not all galaxies have black holes. While many galaxies, including our own Milky Way, have supermassive black holes at their centers, there are also galaxies that do not have black holes. The presence of a black hole in a galaxy depends on various factors such as the size and age of the galaxy.
