Hey guys,
I was reading a book about space and I found out about these clusters of stars called quasars. They are usually found in the centers of galaxies, but the closest ones are billions of miles away. The quasar furthest away from us is right on the edge of our known universe, 11 billion miles away. And, the quasars have the same brightness as 100 galaxies all together. The quasars were actually named Quasistellar Radio Sources (star-like radio sources) but the name was soon shortened down. Shortly after being named, it was found out that about one percent of quasars really generate radio waves. The quasars are black holes sucking in gas clouds and creating so much friction that they start to burn.
