A quasar is a powerful source of light, created by torrid gas orbiting a gargantuan black hole at the center of a galaxy. The intense radiation from one quasar, named VIK J2348-3054, has probably ...

Astronomers discovered a quasar, which is the "brightest of its kind" and the "most luminous object ever observed," using the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), a ...

Astronomers have spotted the brightest known object in the universe, and it’s a quasar powered by the fastest-growing black hole on record, according to a new study. Initially classified as a ...

A Yale-led team of astronomers has detected an intensely brightening and dimming quasar that may help explain how some objects in the early universe grew at a highly accelerated rate. The discovery, ...

(CNN) — Astronomers have for the first time spotted two galaxies in the throes of a deep-space “duel.” Using combined observations from ground-based telescopes over nearly four years, the ...
