📚 Quasar, noun.
🔉 /ˈkweɪzɑː/ 🇬🇧
❓ Definition (Astronomy): A massive and extremely remote celestial object, emitting exceptionally large amounts of energy, and typically having a starlike image in a telescope. It has been suggested that quasars contain massive black holes and may represent a stage in the evolution of some galaxies.
❗️ Examples:
1. Astronomers believe that quasars are galaxies with very massive black holes in the center.
2. Rich in objects, from galaxies to quasars to white dwarf stars, this vast data archive will serve as a resource for the entire astronomical community.
3. Radio astronomers found pulsars, quasars, and massive molecular clouds dotting the celestial landscape.
4. But they are still being created in the heart of the hottest, most energetic regions in the Universe, such as supernovae, gamma ray bursts, quasars and even stars like our Sun.
