Twin Quasar was created in 1979.
No, a quasar is a distant celestial object that emits intense amounts of energy. While a quasar can release powerful radiation and energy into space, it cannot directly obliterate an entire planet in the way a weapon might. The impact of a quasar on a planet would depend on factors such as distance and the planet's atmosphere.
No. Life cannot exist anywhere near a quasar. For one thing there is no "on" a quasar. A quasar consists of a disk of extremely hot matter falling into a supermassive black hole. What cannot cross the event horizon is ejected in jets at the poles at nearly the speed of light. The radiation of even a moderate quasar is more than 10 trillion times that of the sun. Even light years away any planet would be completely sterilized.
A quasar evolves into a galaxy as it exhausts its fuel supply of supermassive black holes at its core. Once the black hole stops accreting matter and emitting large amounts of energy, the quasar phase ends, and it becomes a mature galaxy.
A quasar is a type of astronomical object that emits incredibly large amounts of energy and light as a result of material falling into a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy.
