How to use "Quasar" in context?
Visible galaxies like our Milky Way are collections of stars. The Milky Way alone contains an estimated 200 - 400 billion stars. quasars are much more distant, and when observed with modern telescopes appear as point-like sources of light. Quasars are powered by a supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy. The intense magnetic fields generated by the black hole cause the light from the quasar to be stretched and redshifted. Some quasars are even thought to emit more light than an entire galaxy of 100 billion stars!
