Gravity. We're not entirely certain what a "quasar" is, but the current theory is that it is a black hole forming and growing in an active galactic core. It is likely that 10 billion years ago, the Milky Way Galaxy was a "quasar", as the supermassive black hole in the center of our own galaxy was forming.
