Some are over 13,000 light-years away. They get their power from a
huge black hole at their center.
A black hole is a region in space where the pull of gravity is so strong
that even light cannot escape. When gas and dust fall into the black hole
at the center of a quasar, they produce large amounts of light and heat.
Although black holes are very small, they are extremely heavy. A black
hole less than a centimeter across can weigh the same amount as the
earth. The black holes in the center of quasars may weigh up to 100
million times as much as our sun
