Quasars are a relatively new discovery, at first it was thought they were stars in our galaxy but they're actually in very distant galaxies. They actually emit radio waves. The latest thinking is that they're very bright centres of some distant galaxies, where some sort of energetic action is occurring, probably caused by an enormous black hole.
