Quasars appear starlike, but each emits more energy than 100 giant galaxies. They are thought to be at the centre of galaxies, their brilliance eminating from the stars and gas falling toward an immense black hole at their nucleus.
No. The clouds of gas and dust are called nebulae. A quasar is a disk of superheated matter falling into an enormous black hole.

Yes you can you can print a picture off your computer or phone if you have a printer.
A star is matter being compressed (by the force of gravity) wich in turn heats the star and is the mechanism for Nuclear Fussion, subsequently the star expands ( gravity vs. heat). A Quasar on the other hand is not a star at all, it is, in fact dust wich is being pulled towards a Supermassive Black hole (usually at the center of a Galaxy), the dust being Super-accelerated, and rubbing (friction) against other particles, heats up to an incredible temperature and emits extra-ordinary bright light, which we have come to know as Quasars (accretion disc of dust around Supermassice Black hole)
One can learn more about Quasars from the Wikipedia website where there is much information about them. One can also find information on Space and Sky at Night Magazine.
No more than one, we think. Quasars are so distant that it is difficult to distinguish details about their parent galaxies.
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.

The evidence for the extreme distance is the extreme redshift. Also, in many cases, a coincidence has been found between a quasar and a galaxy.

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.
A quasar is a disk of superheated material falling into a supermassive black hole. The radiation from a quasar is so intense that it actually pushes matter away from the black hole, preventing it from falling in. This process limits how fast a black hole can grow.
Quasars are among the brightest objects in the universe and are intrinsically far, far brighter than stars, though the one which appears brightest to us on Earth (3C 273, a quasar in the constellation of Virgo) is so far away (about two and a half billion light years) that it cannot be seen without a telescope. 3C 273 is actually two trillion times as bright as the Sun and is in fact about a hundred times brighter than the entire Milky Way galaxy. We do think that quasars involve supermassive black holes, but what we see is not the black hole itself (which is, well, black and therefore invisible) but its accretion disc.
