Q — Quasar

Q - Quasar. A quasar forms when a supermassive black hole consumes a star and the gas and debris form an orbiting accretion disk. In the disc, debris spins at unfathomable speeds. This friction generates an enormous amount of heat that causes quasars to shine thousands of times brighter than entire galaxies.
