Quasars, or quasi-stellar objects, are among the most fascinating astronomical phenomena in the universe. Discovered in the 1960s, these distant objects emit vast amounts of energy, outshining entire galaxies. Powered by supermassive black holes at their centers, quasars consume surrounding gas and dust, producing intense radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum. Their remarkable luminosity allows astronomers to observe them at incredible distances, providing insights into the early universe and the formation of galaxies.

The energy output of quasars can be staggering
