A massive and extremely remote celestial object, emitting exceptionally large amounts of energy, and typically having a starlike image in a telescope. It has been suggested that quasars contain massive black holes and may represent a stage in the evolution of some galaxies.

So basically, it is said that Quasars contain black holes within the center of it.

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. See related link for more information.


Why are quasars so small?

Quasars are small because they are powered by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. The intense energy emitted by the accretion of matter onto the black hole creates a very compact and luminous source in the center of a galaxy.


What would happen if the milky way black hole became active?

It would emit a lot of radiation. Some distant black holes (or more accurately, the area around the black holes) emit more radiation than an entire galaxy. Such black holes are known as quasars.


Are quasars part of your solar system?

No, quasars are not part of the solar system. Quasars are extremely distant and energetic objects located in the far reaches of the universe, millions or billions of light years away from our solar system. They are powered by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies.


Quasars are thought to be the center of distant?

Quasars are thought to be the centers of distant galaxies where supermassive black holes are actively accreting matter. The intense energy emitted by this process makes quasars some of the brightest objects in the universe. Studying quasars can provide valuable insights into galaxy formation and evolution.

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.


What is a very bright object believed to be an active center of a very young galaxy?

That probably refers to a quasar. Quasars are related to gigantic black holes.


What is a science question related to astronomy?

Do black holes and quasars both have stars?

Each black hole and each quasar is the remnant of a single extinct star.


Are the most massive and densest singular objects in the universe?

Probably the supermassive black holes that are believed to be at the centers of many (perhaps most) large galaxies. These may be related to quasars.
