Note: Power is energy per unit time.
The quick variation in the power output implies that it must come from a region that is only a few light-days or light-hours across - in other words, much smaller than a galaxy.The amount of power emitted (much more than an entire normal galaxy!), combined with the fact that this power output is sustained for a long time, suggest that none of the previously-known mechanisms - such as nuclear fusion from a regular star - can be involved in producing that amount of power.

What is the power source of a quasar?
The power source of a quasar is a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy. As material falls into the black hole, it forms an accretion disk that releases immense amounts of energy, generating the intense radiation emitted by quasars.
How does a quasar work?
A quasar is believed to have a supermassive black hole at its center. The radiation is emitted outside the black hole's event horizon - from matter that is falling into the black hole.
Can a quasar obliterate an entire planet?
No, a quasar is a distant celestial object that emits intense amounts of energy. While a quasar can release powerful radiation and energy into space, it cannot directly obliterate an entire planet in the way a weapon might. The impact of a quasar on a planet would depend on factors such as distance and the planet's atmosphere.
Can a super heated quasar escape a black hole?
No, a superheated quasar cannot escape a black hole. Quasars are extremely bright and energetic sources powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes, and their emissions arise from the material falling into the black hole. Once matter crosses the event horizon – the point of no return – it cannot escape the black hole, including the energy emitted by the quasar.
What is a very bright star like object that generates immense energy?
A supernova explosion releases greatly more energy than our Sun in its entire lifetime.

Is a quasar is a galaxy shaped like a flattened ball?
It could be, but the definition quasi-star depends on the radiation output, NOT the shape.
How much energy do quasar give off?
50% energy
What is the relationship between the temperature of a quasar and its overall energy output?
The temperature of a quasar is directly related to its overall energy output. Quasars are extremely hot and luminous objects, with higher temperatures corresponding to higher energy outputs. This means that as the temperature of a quasar increases, so does its energy output.
What is a star like source of energy in the center of a galaxy?
quasar
Which object releases more energy that 100 galaxies?
A quasar does that.
What is a quasar and what does it have to do with a black hole?
A quasar is a galaxy that is radiating massive amount of radioactive energy. A quasar MAY have a black hole at it's center. A black hole is just dead star that collapsed in on itself.
Can a quasar obliterate an entire planet?
