What is Quasar?
1.
qua·sar (kwzär, -sär, -zr, -sr) n.
1. An extremely distant, and thus old, celestial object whose power output is several thousand times that of our entire galaxy.
2. a starlike object that may send out radio waves and other forms of energy; large red shifts imply enormous recession velocities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
quas(i-stellar) + (st)ar.
The only mechanism people could think of that would produce such large quantities of energy seemed to be the gravitational collapse not just of a star but of the whole central region of a galaxy. This is now known to be a quasar.

A quasar (more recently known as a QSO, Quasi-Stellar Object) is a distant star-sized energy source in space that gives off lots of ultraviolet. They are compact and very far away, but they are also very bright.Some of these QSO's gives off large amounts of radiation, including radio waves and X-rays. The word quasar is short for quasi-stellar radio objects. Quasars were first detected by Maartin Schmidt and Allan R. Sandage in 1963 -1964.
"We believe that galaxies and quasars are very intimately connected, that in fact quasars are a phase of galaxy evolution. In our current picture, as every galaxy forms and collapses, it has a brief quasar phase."

a distant celestial object that produces a spectrum that is heavily redshifted when viewed through a spectroscope.
its probably something else as well...
er...check out the light from that quasar :P

A concept car developed by Peugeot in 1984.
specifications...
Engine: I4 16v DOHC biturbo
Power: 600hp/98 ft.lbs torque
Chassis: Peugeot 205 Turbo 16
Suspension: Formula 1 double wishbone
Drive: AWD
Look at that Quasar over there, the French actually made a cool looking car.

Outphase's Trance song from beatmania IIDX 9th Style. Used as the One More Extra Stage from that game, therefore requiring a lot of skill to merely play. The Another14 notechart is considered impossible to pass.
Also made famous by some retarded, overrated video floating around the internet.
