Quasars are among the most powerful and mysterious objects in the universe,bright, energetic beacons powered by supermassive ...

Back to Article List Deep-Sky Dreams: NGC 3079 and Quasar 0957+561 Quasar 0957+561, the first known gravitationally lensed quasar, lies near NGC 3079 in Ursa Major. Here's how to find and observe it.

Star formation has ceased within at least 16 million light-years of the quasar. A similar phenomenon may have fried the Milky Way when it was young.

The quasar in the new study, 3C 273, was identified in 1963 by astronomer Maarten Schmidt as the first quasar. The findings are published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

A quasar is a blindingly bright galaxy core — brighter than all of the galaxy's starlight combined, according to NASA. Through telescopes, these sometimes look like a single star in the sky, but ...

Observations published Monday in Nature Astronomy and collected by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) then confirmed that it was the brightest quasar ever seen.

Early-universe quasar neighborhoods are indeed cluttered New finding with the expansive Dark Energy Camera offers a clear explanation to quasar 'urban density'-conundrum Date: September 23, 2024 ...

Observations made by Chile's ALMA telescope have revealed a gigantic black hole quenching a galaxy's star formation — a first-of-its-kind observation.

The team has probed gas outflows in I Zwicky 1, a close-by quasar, to map its system of clouds being blown away at tens to thousands of kilometers per second. Their findings are published in the ...

The recorded radiation from the quasar was only one-thousandth as great as that from a starlike object called Sco XR-1—which appears to be the brightest X-ray emitter in the sky (TIME, Sept. 16).

Dr Richard McMahon from the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Cambridge said, “This quasar appears to be forming stars at a rate of 500-1000 solar masses per year, which is more than a ...

The change was so great that throughout the SDSS collaboration and astronomy community, the quasar became known as a “changing-look quasar.” ...
