The quasar or quasar, an Anglo-Saxon acronym of quasi-stellar radio source is defined by astronomers as an astronomical source of electromagnetic energy among which we find both radio frequencies and light.
To understand the quasar well, it is necessary to first understand what electromagnetic radiation is, in terms of the variable electromagnetic field that is formed by electric and magnetic fields that move through space carrying energy from one point to another.
This is also defined as the waves produced by the sources of the electromagnetic field that move at the speed of light. These can manifest in very different forms such as hercian waves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, gamma rays or, among others, quasi-radio or quasar radios.
Some phenomena that take place in an immense black hole eradicated in the epicenter of a galaxy breaks down swallowing all the matter that is in its path. When this happens, as a direct consequence of the high rotation speed of the generated accretion disk, a huge amount of energy is generated that is released through any of the ways mentioned in the previous paragraph, which makes quasar the object that brightest in the entire universe, at least those known to man to date.
Far away are those theories that defined them as a sort of white holes that were discarded as they became aware of what they are formed and their own Show all - The quasar or quasar, an Anglo-Saxon acronym of quasi-stellar radio source is defined by astronomers as an astronomical source of electromagnetic energy among which we find both radio frequencies and light.

Far away are those theories that defined them as a sort of white holes that were discarded as they became aware of what they are formed and their own characteristics. That despite the fact that telescopic sights only emerge as luminescence points that could well be the center of a galaxy.
However, the vast majority of these are impossible to spot from the ground because of the immense distance that separates us from them. One of those that has been observed to date is 3C273, although it is estimated that it is home 2500 million light years from our planet. The same that separate us from the constellation Virgo.
Currently, more than 600,000 quasar have been identified. The closest is 780 million a.l. and the furthest to 13,000 million a.l. which means that what came to us happened a long time ago and that we only have knowledge of how they were in the past.
Thanks to different investigations, we also know that its luminosity is twice that of the sun and up to 100 times more than the whole luminescence that radiates a medium-sized galaxy such as the Milky Way. Also that they produce their energy from a relatively small place in relation to their mass and that they share properties with many galaxies, such as those related to the type of radiation, jets or lobes such as those that can be found in radiogalaxies.
