Question

Can we physically see a quasar? If so, how?

Answer 1

Just a few like the quasar 3C273 ( apparent magnitude 12.9) comes to your view through a small telescope.

Explanation:

Despite it is so far-distant, a quasar's brightness could outwit the

brightness of its parent galaxy and make the galaxy dim.for view by

the powerful telescope that reveals the quasar at the center.

It is a scientific surmise that the star-like QUAsi-stellAR quasar is the

Black Hole center of a far-distant galaxy. It is a recent surmise that

the extremely bright specks are created by particles accelerating at

high speeds that approach the speed of light.
