Astronomers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have recorded the flickering of a quasar that existed just 850 ...
The hearts of some galaxies glow so brightly that they are given a special name: Quasars. Powered by supermassive black holes at the center of these galaxies, these regions give off tremendous amounts ...

Astronomers observed ancient quasars that appear to be surprisingly alone in the early universe. The findings challenge physicists' understanding of how such luminous objects could have formed so ...
At the center of most large galaxies sits a supermassive black hole (SMBH). When these black holes are actively consuming ...
Astronomers have 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 is the most distant ...
