Quasar
[ˈkwāˌzär]Meaning
English, an extremely luminous active galactic nucleus
Background Story
Quasar is the English word for an extremely luminous active galactic nucleus, sometimes known as a quasi-stellar object. The term originated as a contraction of "quasi-stellar radio source", so named because these sources were first identified during the 1950s as sources of radio-wave emission of unknown physical origin and resembled faint, star-like points of light in photographic images at visible wavelengths.
