I'm a simple man; I hear Rob's voice, I hit like 😂

[josephpacchetti]

Great Video, Thanks Rob & Crew of V101 Space. 📡 👍

[dmdcykey]

Yes! The moment I read about this object I thought of your channel, eagerly anticipating your video on it. Per usual, you did not disappoint; kudos, Rob. The absolute immensity of this object and the levels of energy it outputs is more than the mind can fully comprehend. I just can't get enough of this stuff.

[josephpacchetti]

I just had to watch this a second time.👍THX V 📡

[dominiclester]

Great stuff guys, thank you! I really appreciate the way Rob articulates; there are lots of scientific words that could so easily be mis-pronounced...

[freddyjosereginomontalvo]

Awesome videos as always say
Keep going my friend 🌍🌟

[ellisonhamilton]

I enjoyed this week's fix. Thank you.
Hope you and Rolo are doing well. 🇺🇸❤🇬🇧

A billion dollar mission ruined because some guy forgot to flip a switch? What kind of pathetic QA are those guys running?

[enriquegarza]

The brightest object in the known universe? I always that it was my wife's smile, I guess second brightest then.

[jouk]

With all confidence, your channel is addictive ❤☘

[nigeldawkins]

Thanks, extremely interesting and informative as usual.

[DjCrook]

I can never wait for the next video. They can't come quick enough lol. Keep up the good work

[siamakalaei]

Wonderful video, and thanks, Rob, for such a professional explanation! Best wishes ❤❤❤

"Space Fix" is an amazing way to catch up on space discoveries. It's quick, efficient, and very informative. However, I think it would be helpful, if you'd clearly titled these Space Fix videos, because the clickbaity titles don't indicate these are from the SF series, and frankly, for me the lunar landing is far more interesting in hindsight, than the brightest quasar.

Good evening V101 and my fellow space fans 👋🏻

[quotesmusicus]

I like your voice Rob...so clear and intact for non native English like me

Correction: Quasi Stellar Radio Source. That's where the name comes from, not Quasi Stellar Object.
Even the bike I have on the universe from 1967 states this.

[MorganSeveret]

Not so bright, I was there yesterday. 😉
Excellent video.

There's a better explanation for quasars. They're not consuming anything. Instead the space is being stretched between them and us causing the invisible light normally produced by stars to shift into the visible spectrum. Making them appear extremely bright. Visible light isn't energetic enough to shine this far. That's why infrared telescopes were built. They can see much further than optical telescopes. It explains why the brightness of a quasar is continuous without blinking like one would think if it was consuming stars that were separated by a few light years like here in the Milky Way galaxy. Astronomers have been observing the supermassive black hole in the core of our own galaxy for almost 35 years and have never recorded anything falling into it except an occasional bright flash in X-rays.

Even in 2014 the G02 gas cloud heading straight for the black hole veered away and came out from behind it untouched. So, if a gas cloud can't fall into a black hole then what's feeding the quasar? Simple. They're not consuming anything. They're radiating high energy invisible light that's being stretched into the spectrum of light we can see.
