About this episode

Have you heard about the cosmic object that's so bright it seems to break the laws of physics? It's called a quasar, and it's basically a supermassive black hole that's feasting on nearby material. The energy released is so intense that it outshines entire galaxies. Scientists are scratching their heads trying to figure out how something can be so bright without blowing itself apart. It’s one of many space mysteries that makes you realize how much we still have to learn about the universe! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
