Whether the Milky Way Galaxy have quasar or not.
Answer to Problem 7TE
The Milky Way Galaxy does not have quasar.
Explanation of Solution
Quasar is the brightest object present in the universe, it is the nucleus of the active galactic nucleus, in which a supermassive black hole is present. This hole is the size of millions and billions of the size of the Sun. It is enclosed by the gaseous accretion disk when the gas disc falls into its energy release from it in the form of
Quasars are found over very far distances, so there is no quasar or active galactic nucleus present in Milky Way Galaxy. In future, it may be possible, as universe is continuously enlarging, so our galaxy may collide with the Andromeda galaxy and then it will produce a black hole or quasar at its center.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the Milky Way Galaxy does not have quasar.
