Quasars are: quasi-stellar radio sources. The consensus now is that: quasars (the most luminous objects in the Universe) are compacted regions in the middle of massive galaxies. Quasars owe their high energy to the accretion discs surrounding massive black holes at the center of these galaxies.

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.


When was Twin Quasar created?

Twin Quasar was created in 1979.


What is an example of a quasar?

A quasar is what is known as an object in the distance of so far length in space that is takes the form of a light object such as a star or a comet, an example of a quasar would be the solar system or Sol (sun) of Betelgeuse and any other Planet or sun in our milky way of visibility. in 2002 scientists measured the speed of gravity of Jupiter to the sun using a quasar that was behind Jupiter that they could have a place of measurement, the opportunity to see Jupiter only comes along every 10 years, so if you are planning on trying to find it with a high powered telescope you best do some research on when it comes around next. Hope this helped. - Physicist Tim


Can life exist on a quasar?

No. Life cannot exist anywhere near a quasar. For one thing there is no "on" a quasar. A quasar consists of a disk of extremely hot matter falling into a supermassive black hole. What cannot cross the event horizon is ejected in jets at the poles at nearly the speed of light. The radiation of even a moderate quasar is more than 10 trillion times that of the sun. Even light years away any planet would be completely sterilized.


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.
