The sky on

A Quasar Portrait Gallery
Quasars, or QUASi-stellAR objects, are incredibly luminous and lie at the edge of the observable Universe. The Hubble Space Telescope captured these portraits, offering a look at their host galaxies. Astronomers believe a giant black hole at the center, fueled by infalling gas, dust, and stars, powers their immense energy output. This makes them visible across billions of light-years.
