Quasars stand for quasi-stellar radio sources. Quasars represent exceedingly luminous active galactic nuclei. They do not represent galaxies, but they are related to them. They are actually positioned in the center of galaxies. Galaxies which do contain quasars are extremely bright due to the fact that quasars themselves are very bright. The reason lies in the fact that quasars have a superenormous black hole within themselves.
