Since quasars lie billions of light-years from earth, astrophysicists thought they might never prove the theory. But radio astronomers report in the current issue of Nature that they have discovered something similar to a quasar in the Milky Way galaxy, right in our own cosmic backyard. The object is much less powerful than a typical quasar, but it appears to work on the same principle. And being a mere 40,000 light-years away, it will be easier to study...
What the astronomers actually saw was a radio hot spot, caused by a jet of subatomic particles spewing from the object at nearly the speed of light. (Because of its angle, the jet gives the illusion of moving faster than light, a physical impossibility.) The jet presumably comes from gas falling from an orbiting companion star into a black hole that weighs as much as a handful of stars. Typical quasars, in contrast, emanate from something with the mass of a million stars or more. Unfortunately, galactic dust largely hides the mini-quasar, so there is a limit...
