Depends on how you look at "power" I suppose, but a quasar is similar to a pulsar in that it has high enough angular velocity to produce jets of EM and synchrotron radiation through it's poles but however, a quasar is orders of magnitude larger than a pulsar since a pulsar is just a single neutron star (Maybe 20-30km in diameter) while the quasar is a entire galactic nuclei.

It is hard to establish a basis for comparison. A quasar is basically supermassive black hole that is feeding. The energy output of a quasar cannot be compared to anything else in the universe. A black hole has very strong gravity but if it is not feeding will only release a tiny amount of energy in the form of Hawking radiation.

The Big Bang. But remember, no one knows what caused the Big Bang because a hypernova is caused by a hypergiant star like Canis Majoris, but space didn't even exist before the Big Bang, but a hypernova is nothing compared to the catastrophic explosion that lasted for billions of years.

Quasar. By far. A quasar is the explosion of a whole galaxy. Hypernova is just a big sun's explosion.

A supermassive black hole, like at the center of spiral galaxies.

Is it possible for the existence of a more powerful version of the Hypernova an Ultranova?

That is only currently possible if several if more than 1000 supernovas crashed dead right into each other. But there is no single thing that has the power of a hypernova.


Is quasar a feature of the sun?

No. A quasar is an object observed in some distant galaxies believed to be a supermassive black hole, millions to billions of times the mass of the sun, feeding on superheated matter. A quasar is many times more powerful than the sun.


Is a hypernova more dangerous than a black hole?

It's hard to compare. Probably the hypernova. According to the Wikipedia article on supernovae, a supernova can influence Earth's biosphere even at a distance of 3000 light-years. And a hypernova is supposed to be a some sort of "super-supernova". On the other hand, while most black holes are fairly harmless if they are just a few light-years away, a quasar emits typically has a brightness of over 10 million million times that of the Sun; that means that at a distance of about 50 light-years, it would look about as bright as the Sun does to us. I would guess that at a distance of 3000 light-years a quasar would be fairly harmless, unless you happen to be right in the main particle beam.


Do Quasars have the energy of 5 million suns?

Quite a bit more than that. A typical quasar is several times brighter than an entire galaxy that has no quasar.Quite a bit more than that.

Is there anything more powerful than antimatter?

Maybe Tesla's death ray, we will see in future. Or jet shooted by Blazar (special kind of Quasar). Or magnetar's quake.


How big can hypernova get?

There is no such thing as a "hypernova". Making up words does not make something real.


Is Quasar 247 a true quasar?

It is not.


What is the temperature of hypernova?

It is said that a hypernova can release around 100 times more energy than a supernova. Supernova's will reach temperatures of 100 billion degrees centigrade, and will release more energy in 15 seconds than our sun does in it's entire lifetime!


Which object releases more energy that 100 galaxies?

A quasar does that.


How often is a hypernova created?

never


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.


Quasars are the most luminous objects in the known Universe?

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.
