A quasar gives off 10^40 watts. An easier way to explain it is 10 followed by forty zeros! That can be up to 1000 times of what the entire Milky Way emits.

Quasar is a shortened word representing "quasi-stellar radio source." C. Hazard and some co-workers were the first to measure the position of one such object, 3C273, very precisely. They used lunar occultations to match radio sour...

c. They are very distant. is correct Red shifts larger than 1, don't imply speeds greater than light. This is so because the red shift is caused in part by a cosmological expansion of space, and because the velocities involved are too large...

If this scenario is confirmed (optical observations from the ground are underway), it would add to the growing body of evidence that every major galaxy was once a brilliant quasar in its youth. Looking into the heart of the Milky Way, Chand...

Indeed, because of their similar name, people often think quasars and pulsars are the same thing, or they are highly related. This is a myth, because quasars are actually objects in space that emit extremely powerful radio waves. Quasars ar...
