Quasars [See Link] are believed to be powered by accretion of material intosupermassive black holes [See Link] in the middle of distant galaxies, making them luminous versions of active galaxies. The matter accreting onto the black hole is unlikely to fall directly in, but will have some angular momentum around the black hole that will cause the matter to collect in an accretion disc.
As the material is "sucked" into the black hole it is subjected to huge amounts of friction which heats up to millions of degrees. This gives the quasars their massive luminosity.

What is the correct spelling for a quasar?

What words are contracted in the word quasar?
The word quasar is short for quasi-stellar radio source.
Quasar in a sentence?
Astronomers have detected a quasar in a distant galaxy.
Is Betelgeuse a quasar?
No, Betelgeuse is not a quasar. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star located in the constellation of Orion, while a quasar is a highly energetic and distant active galactic nucleus powered by a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy.
What is the line through the middle of a quasar?
A quasar is a lot like a black hole, in that it was once a star. There are many spikes that do project from the center of the quasar. These are optical spikes. they are like a glare that the telescopes see when they look at a star. if you look at the sun off of a mirror, you can see the same optical spikes from the sun. It is basically a You can also see another line that extends from both sides of the quasar. These lines that you see are actually super heated gas that has been shot out from the center of the quasar. These streams extend many light-years away from the quasar. If you want to learn more, look at some of the Hubble pictures of quasars.
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.
Is Quasar 247 a true quasar?
It is not.
Is a quasar heavy?
A quasar is basically a black hole and a black hole is caused by a point so dense that it rips spacetime. Since the density is so immense it therefore implies that the mass of the point is equally great since density = mass/volume. Thus, the point which causes a quasar is extremely heavy.
What is evidence that a quasar is distant?
a large redshift in the spectrum of the quasar.
When was Quasar Padamsee born?
Quasar Padamsee was born in 1978.
When was Twin Quasar created?
Twin Quasar was created in 1979.

What is a binary quasar?
A binary quasar is a pair of quasars which gravitationally interact with each other, unlike a standard double quasar, which does not interact.
What is the meaning of quasar?

What is a length of a quasar?
The diameter of a quasar is a few light-hours or a few light-days. A quasar consists of the immediate surroundings of a supermassive black hole.
