   Quasar
   Quasar means 'quasi-stellar radar source'. These are objects which look like stars but are not. (They are only visible in big telescopes, because of their great distance from us. A typical quasar differs most noticeably from a star because it gives off the same intensity of light as would one million million suns. This is quite impressive, but even more impressive is the fact that quasars spew out much more radiation at radio wavelengths. Quasars are amongst the most distant objects observed from Earth

    Quasar
    A `quasar` (contraction of `QUASi-stellAR radio source`) is an extremely bright and distant active galactic nucleus. They were first identified as being high redshift sources of electromagnetic energy, including radio waves and visible light that were point-like, similar to stars, rather than extended sources similar to galaxies. While there was initially some controversy over the nature of these objects, there is now a scientific consensus that ...

    quasar
    quasar Short for quasi-stellar radio source. A compact, starlike celestial body with a power output greater than our entire galaxy. Believed to be the oldest and most distant objects ever detected, quasars are billions of light-years from earth and moving away from us at nearly 80 percent of the speed of light. Quasars appear to be stars, but they have ...

    quasar
    The highly energetic core of a remote active galaxy; quasars are the most luminous objects in the universe, capable of radiating over a trillion times as much energy as the Sun from a region little larger than the Solar System. The first quasars were found because of their radio emission and were ca...
