Quasar in an Elliptical Galaxy

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Quasars are the brightest objects in the universe. Most are surrounded by a relatively faint nebulous patch. This false-color picture shows a central quasar embedded in an unusual elliptical galaxy. The galaxy is being gravitationally distorted by a neighboring galaxy, suggesting that most quasars are found in interacting galaxies.
