(sarcastic answer removed) A quark is a subatomic particle. They are found in protons and neutrons, for instance, which together make up the nucleus of atoms. The word also appears in Finnegan's Wake, in the line "Three quarks for Muster Mark!" The answer is twofold: everywhere, and nowhere. A quark is considered the most elemental of all subatomic particles. Quarks make up other subatomic particles, such as protons and neutrons. Because quarks make up other subatomic particles, and because all matter is made up from subatomic particles, you will "find" quarks in everything you see, touch, smell, and taste. First, quarks are too small to see or measure. Therefore, you could never actually "find" a quark. Second, quarks always - but always - exist in combinations with other quarks to make up other particles. Quarks do not exist alone as free quarks. Therefore, even if you could see them, you could never find just a quark.

Are Quasar formations associated with?

Quasar formations are associated with supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. They emit powerful radiation as matter falls into them, creating a bright light that can be observed across vast distances in the universe.


Does a quasar have very little energy?

No. Quasars have the highest energy output of any type of object in the known universe.


How do you describe a quasar?

A quasar is a highly energetic and distant galaxy with a supermassive black hole at its center. The gravitational pull of the black hole causes surrounding matter to emit intense light and radiation, making quasars one of the brightest objects in the universe. They are important for studying the early universe and processes involving black holes.


Is Quasar 247 a true quasar?

It is not.


How old is the oldest quasar?

The oldest quasar discovered is 13.05 billion years old, dating back to when the universe was just 690 million years old. This quasar is known as J0313-1806 and was identified by astronomers using data from multiple observatories, including the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the W.M. Keck Observatory.


Is a quasar a galaxy with a super-massive black hole in its center?

Yes, a quasar is a galaxy with a super-massive black hole in its center. The hole being invisible, all light vanishing from the great gravity. The quasar itself, among the brightest, most luminous objects in the universe, is being powered by an accretion disc around the black hole.


What is hotter than a quasar?

A quasar is one of the hottest objects in the universe, so there are few known things that are hotter. However, some portions of the core of a supernova explosion or the environment around a black hole can reach even higher temperatures than a quasar.


What is the quasar method?

The quasar method is a technique used in astrophysics to estimate the distances to distant celestial objects. It involves observing the spectra of quasars, which are extremely bright and distant objects, to determine the redshift caused by the expansion of the universe. By comparing the redshift of a quasar with known properties to that of a target object, astronomers can infer the distance to the target object.


What is evidence that a quasar is distant?

a large redshift in the spectrum of the quasar.


When was Twin Quasar created?

When was Quasar Padamsee born?

Quasar Padamsee was born in 1978.


What is the correct spelling for a quasar?
