# Cosmic background radiation (remnants of the Big Bang). # Quasars.
Scientists use radio waves to study distant quasars because quasars emit large amounts of radio waves but not much visible light.
More precisely, quasars are high-energy galaxy CORES, compact enough to appear starlike, yet emitting more radiation than a million "ordinary" galaxies.
Because quasars was discovered to be a strong source of radio waves.... --> Hi Armstrong SY 2011 - 2012 of MunSci!! Goodluck on your street dance and book nook!!
They are called quasars. We occasionally observe short bursts of gamma radiation which outshine even quasars temporarily, but astronomers aren't absolutely certain yet what causes them.

None of them. They were all discovered a good many years ago.

The word quasar refers to a quasi-stellar radio source. Quasars are astronomical bodies that produce vast amounts of energy. The first Quasars have been discovered in the late 1950s.
Quasars are some of the most distant and luminous bodies we can observe. Since we measure them to be incredibly far from our own galaxy, in the order of billions of light-years, astronomers believe that they are several billions of years old as their light would have taken that long to travel to us. Astronomers think that they may be young galaxies as the appear to be incredibly bright balls of accreting gas that probably have black holes at their cores. Because quasars give off characteristic pulses of light at regular intervals, astronomers use them as "standard candles" to measure the redshifts (how quickly they are moving away from us) of other extremely distant objects.
