What is a Quasar?

[Skull-dwkn]

Remember, it's two and a half billion light years away, basically means that if we actually saw it eat something, it would've happened 2.5 billion years ago

and its still not quite as bright as a pickup truck's LED high beams in the oncoming traffic lane

Quasar 3C273 is the most distant object that can still be picked up on amateur telescopes, has an absolute magnitude of -26.7 (about 4 trillion times more luminous than the Sun), and would be as bright as the Sun if it was as far away from us as Pollux is (about 10 pc instead of 749 Mpc).

you never fail to make me question our existence

The brightest object known is made by the darkest to exist

Someone needs to release a VR anything based on these kinds of graphics.

That is all I keep holding out on a headset for. I don't want anything but space exploration.

That galaxy shown when you said Milky way, kinda actually looks like the sombrero galaxy

886 times more massive than the Sun doesn't sound that big though

"it is actively consuming over 300 million tons of matter every single second"

[AntitheistHuman]

The scales are absolutely mind blowing, amazing
