Stars are large spheres composed mainly of hydrogen. Heat and pressure at the cores of as star fuses hydrogen atoms together to produce helium and release energy. Some older stars fuse heavier elements.

A quasar consists of a supermassive black hole pulling in more matter than it can swallow. in-falling matter is heated to billions of degrees, hotter than any star, and excess matter is ejected in jets near the poles at nearly the speed of light. A quasar produces much more energy than any star.

How does a galazy that contains a quasar differ from an ordinary galaxy?

A galaxy that contains a quasar differs from an ordinary galaxy primarily due to the presence of an extremely bright and energetic active galactic nucleus (AGN) powered by a supermassive black hole consuming surrounding matter. This intense activity generates immense radiation, often outshining the entire galaxy and making the quasar visible across vast distances. In contrast, ordinary galaxies typically do not exhibit such extreme luminosity or activity, as their central black holes are either inactive or less actively consuming material. Consequently, quasars provide valuable insights into the early universe and the growth of galaxies.


What does a quasar evolve into?

A quasar evolves into a galaxy as it exhausts its fuel supply of supermassive black holes at its core. Once the black hole stops accreting matter and emitting large amounts of energy, the quasar phase ends, and it becomes a mature galaxy.


In what constellation is the center of the galaxy?

Not "the" quasar, but "a" quasar - there are many. A quasar is associated with a supermassive black hole, and those are generally at the center of galaxies.


A quasar is a type of?

A type of galaxy is probably the answer you are looking for. However, a quasar is actually an active galactic nucleus.


Are all quasars galaxies?

A quasar is not a galaxy. A quasar is an intense energy source associated with a supermassive black hole that is actively feeding. All quasars are located at the centers of galaxies.

Galaxy which is thousand times brighter than ordinary galaxy is called?

That must refer to a quasar - however, the claim that it is "a thousand times brighter" is somewhat doubtful. A quasar may seem brighter than it is, (a) because of gravitational lensing, and (b) because the jet is pointed towards us. In any case, a quasar is a small region in a galaxy, which is often brighter than an entire normal galaxy.


Is a quasar a type of galaxy?

No. A Quasar is a Black hole in center of some Galaxies. I think our Galaxy has one of them.


Is a galaxy similar to a quasar and pulsar?

No, not in the slightest sense. A quasar, pulsar, and galaxy are three very different things.


Quasar in a sentence?

Astronomers have detected a quasar in a distant galaxy.


Do Quasars have the energy of 5 million suns?

Quite a bit more than that. A typical quasar is several times brighter than an entire galaxy that has no quasar.Quite a bit more than that.
