What Is The Quasar?


Recommended Posts

A quasar is a supermassive black hole SBH in the process of feeding. It is like a giant rotating donut with energy blasting out of its' poles. Is this peculiarly extreme energy generated simply by gas and dust being heated to extreme temperatures, or is matter and antimatter combining? I would like to know.

 

You can see a quasar only if its' pole is pointed in our general direction. If we are looking down the jet, then it's called a blasar. If it is pointed enough away from us, we would not even see it, but perhaps we could detect the radio waves?

A quaser is a super hot mega star, much bigger than our sun

 

The most massive stars ever seen would be invisible at the distance of quasars. Quasars are NOT stars of any sort. Only a supermassive black hole can produce that tremendous energy output.

Hi, I would like to know what a quasar is? Thanks!!!

 

It may sound strange KuaRk, but what you need is a simple answer.

Google up "Quasar" on the internet. There are many examples to answer your question. Good luck.
