A Quasar By Any Other Name
Quasars are among the most luminous, energetic and powerful objects known in the universe. But what about lesser-known blazers? Hank Green with the SciShow says astronomers now know that quasars and blazars are one and the same thing, just oriented differently to us so we originally thought they were different in essence. Green discusses how this finding impacts the way we perceive quasars and blazers, and how it also effects the ways we can study them.
