Question

Did you know? Quasars — the brightest objects in the universe — are supermassive black holes swallowing matter so fast the heat produces intense radiation. The brightest quasar (3C 273, discovered 1963) shines 4 trillion times brighter than the Sun, from 2.4 billion light years away.

Accepted Answer

Quasars — the brightest objects in the universe — are supermassive black holes swallowing matter so fast the heat produces intense radiation. The brightest quasar (3C 273, discovered 1963) shines 4 trillion times brighter than the Sun, from 2.4 billion light years away.

Quasars — de helderste objecten in het heelal — zijn supermassieve zwarte gaten die materie zo snel inslokken dat de hitte intense straling produceert. De helderste quasar (3C 273, ontdekt 1963) schijnt 4 biljoen keer feller dan de zon, vanaf 2,4 miljard lichtjaar afstand.
