Science Centric (23 Jul 2008 17:00 GMT) - Quasars are the brilliant cores of remote galaxies, thought to be powered by supermassive black holes accreting surrounding gas. Central to this picture is a putative accretion disk which is believed to be the source of the majority of the radiative output.
