Indian Astronomers Spot Dozens of Record-Size Radio Quasars

🌌 How Does a Black Hole Ignite Into a Quasar? Not all black holes are silent monsters. Some become the brightest beacons in the universe — called quasars. When a supermassive black hole (millions to billions of times the Sun’s mass) starts pulling in massive amounts of gas, dust, and stars, this matter doesn’t fall in directly. Instead, it spirals into an accretion disk — a swirling, ultra-hot disk of matter. 🌀 Inside this disk, friction and gravitational forces generate enormous energy, heati
