A quasar is the extremely luminous core of a galaxy, powered by a supermassive black hole. These objects are among the brightest in the Universe, emitting light that can outshine their host galaxy.

Supermassive black holes are found at the center of massive galaxies like our own Milky Way. Check out these 7 rare images of black holes shared by NASA ...

A quasar is powered by large amounts of matter falling into the supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy. Collisions and mergers between galaxies can cause quasar activity by feeding ...

Astronomers have uncovered ultra-powerful X-ray jets from two ancient supermassive black holes located over 11 billion light-years away. These colossal jets, spanning 300,000 light-years, are nearly ...

Two supermassive black holes, located 11.6 and 11.7 billion light-years away, exhibit jets exceeding 300,000 light-years in length, with particles moving at 92–99% of the speed of light.
