Are quasars black holes?
A quasi-stellar radio source (quasar) is a powerfully energetic and distant galaxy with an active galactic nucleus which most probably houses a supermassive black hole.Not quite. A quasar is believed to be a disk of superheated matter that is about to fall into a supermassive black hole.
What is the relationship between Stanley and Hector in the book holes?
stanley and Hecter were really close friends
What are black holes like in science fiction movies?
Black holes in science fiction movies are giant, black holes that rotate like a circular saws inwards.
Describe how quasars got their name?
quasistellar object Technically, I shall tell you a better answer than the other one!At the very edge of the visible Universe scientists can see extremely bright and powerful objects called quasars. Quasars are about the size of our Solar System and produce more light and energy than 1000 galaxies. Think how incredible that is. A small object, not any bigger than our Solar System making so much power and light that it shines brighter than 1000 galaxies. Why are there no quasars near the Earth? The most distant objects visible in the Universe When we look at quasars which are 10-15 billion light years away, we are looking 10-15 billion years into the past. The quasars near Earth have died down long ago. What could produce so much Power and light? Quasars are probably super giant black holes, which are devouring entire stars. These black holes lie at the center of galaxies, and glow brightly as matter funnels into them.
How does a black holes acquire greatest mass?
Most black holes are stellar mass black holes with masses comparable to those of large stars as they form from the collapse of massive stars. Scientists know of the existence of supermassive black holes that are millions to billions of times the mass of our sun and can be found in the centers of most galaxies. Scientists still do not know how these black holes become so massive.
What is the relationship between a quasar and a black hole?
It is believed that quasars are most likely caused by supermassive black holes. Matter falling into the black hole would emit the radiation that has been observed.
How a quasars are formed?
Quasars are thought to be distant super-massive black holes.
What do some scientist think cause quasars?
Some scientist think that quasars may be caused by black holes, but they are not sure how this happens. Please dont copy. Use your own words! - Anonymous <3
Can quasars be found in globular clusters or open clusters?
Quasars are related to supermassive black holes in the center of galaxies.
Do supermassive black holes swallow quasars?
No, a supermassive black hole is what makes a quasar.
Are there any discoveries of active black holes?
Yes. Several quasars have been discovered; they are black holes, and they are quite active.
What is a burst of light from a black hole?
Bursts of light from black holes are the result of the accretion (or "consumption") of matter by black holes. Quasars are an example of this.
Do black holes and quasars both have stars?
Each black hole and each quasar is the remnant of a single extinct star.
Can energy be produce from a black hole?
Sure; please note that black holes are among the brightest objects in the Universe. For more details, do some reading about quasars. Briefly, some quasars shine as bright as a hundred galaxies - and a quasar is a black hole.
What are quasars and where are they found in the universe?
All quasars are located at a great distance from us. Of the quasars discovered, they range from between 780 million and 28 billion light years away. Because of these distances and the velocity of light, we are seeing them early on in the creation of the Universe. They are very rare they have only found about 20 or so.

What do scientist think these quasar are?
Scientists think quasars are supermassive black holes in the process of consuming enormous amounts of matter.
