Meet the Quasars Part 2 - Extreme Quasars - Astronomy / Outer Space Song for kids - The Nirks®

Please Visit Our Website: https://thenirks.com/
Its time to meet some Extreme Quasars in part 2 of Meet the Quasars! We’ve met Planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, comets, nebulae, black holes and galaxies! Now, It’s time to meet more of the brightest objects in the entire universe – QUASARS! Join Vincent as he takes you on a journey into the far reaches of the universe to meet some of the most amazing and mysterious phenomena, Quasars. Quasars (or Quasi Stellar radio sources) are extremely bright centers of distant galaxies powered by supermassive black holes. On this trip, Vincent will introduce us to one of the fastes growing most luminous, biggest Quasar: J0529-4351, 2 of the smallest, oldest quasars: J0005-0006 & J0303-0019, A quasar once thought to be an extra terrestrial civilization: CTA-102, A Dual Quasar J0749+2255 colliding with another dual quasar, and the 4 billion light year wide cosmic structure - HUGE – LQG (Large Quasar Group)! Enjoy this epic new song from The Nirks®!

Lyrics:
Way out in the dark expanse
If you’re lucky, you can catch a glance
Brighter than any star we’ve met
Or any other objects discovered yet
Ancient entities that are hard to find
But the sheer power of one will blow your mind
Powered by massive black hole at their core
Incredible Phenomena we can’t ignore

CHORUS: Quasars, They are Quasars,
Why does a Quasar burn so bright?
Extreme hot gases generate light
Quasars, They are Quasars,
Brightest objects in the universe
Throughout the cosmos, they’re interspersed

Their luminosity makes them hard to miss
Bright Ejection jets and accretion disks
Billions of times more massive than our sun
I can’t wait to go and meet one

Quasars, They are Quasars,
It’s time to meet,
Yes, it’s time to go and Meet a Quasar

I’m Quasar J0529-4351
My Luminosity is roughly 500 trillion times the luminosity of your Sun
With an enormous accretion disk and bright ejection jet
I’m the biggest, fasting growing most luminous quasar yet

My black hole is the fastest growing black hole ever found to date
It increases in mass by about the equivalent of eating one Sun per day
I’m so far away it took my light over 12 billion years to reach you
In the Pictor Constellation my growth and expansion will continue

I’m J0005-0006
One of the smallest Quasars ever discovered to exist
And I’m J0303-0019
Another extremely small quasar that your scientists did find

We have two of the most primitive, oldest black holes ever uncovered
Leading astronomers to believe that we’re first-generation quasars that were discovered
We are both dust free – no stardust for you to see
About 13 billion light years away is where you can find me and me

quasi-stellar radio source or QUASAR
That is the type of object that they are
Far away but brighter than any star
Or any other objects discovered so far
Extremely Rare and hard to find
But the sheer power of one will blow your mind
Powered by massive black hole at their core
Incredible Phenomena we can’t ignore

CHORUS

I am Quasar CTA-102
A Blazar – Whose ejection jet is pointed directly at you
But not to worry, I am about 8 billion light years away
In the Pegasus constellation, and that’s where I will stay

In 1963, an astrophysicist from Russia thought he uncovered
Proof of alien life because of an unidentified radio signal he discovered
Now, Scientists know I’m a quasar, but he thought I was an extraterrestrial civilization
The folk rock band The Byrds wrote a song about me in 1967

I’m a double quasar, a very rare find
I’m known as J0749+2255
2 quasars very close to each other you see
3 billion years ago were a part of 2 merging galaxies

But that’s not all, Hubble Telescope could find
It also spotted J0841+4825
Another double Quasar that was part of two galaxies that merged together
And now our two already merged galaxies are colliding with eachother!

There’s one more fascinating wonder to meet
A special phenomenon, a real treat
Even more spectacular than a regular Quasar
Is an incredible cosmic structure that is colossal and bizarre!

We are HUGE – LQG
Not a single quasar, no we are 73
We make up one of the largest known celestial structures in the universe
Across 4 Billion Light Years we’re interspersed

Quasars, we are quasars
If you were driving at the speed of light
It would take 4 billion years to cross us from side to side
Quasars, We are Quasars
Our name says it all, we are HUGE
Illuminating the universe just for you!

Their luminosity makes them hard to miss
Bright Ejection jets and accretion disks
Billions of times more massive than our sun
Now you’ve had a chance to meet one

Quasars, We are Quasars
Brightest objects in the universe
Which one of us will you meet first?!
