A massive black hole can transform into a quasi-stellar radio source, or quasar, when it consumes matter from a nearby source, such as a galaxy or even a single star. Quasars are comparatively rare and solitary objects that radiate a distinctive light throughout the universe.

That is, what we believed. The announcement of a quadruple quasar discovered inside a single nebula shocked the astronomy community. Because of how uncommon this was, many scientists didn’t even think it was conceivable. Given that quasars are typically widely spaced objects, the sight of this active, supermassive black hole cluster was very astounding.
