The Quasar

by Enigma

Visually, the quasars look like bluish stars a little blurry but unlike the stars, they are among the farthest objects in the universe. These are galaxies whose nucleus emits a lot of energy. Most quasars are hundreds of millions or even billions of light years away!

On the thousands of cataloged quasars, two quasars are visible in a small telescope 20 cm in diameter: NGC 5128 Centaurus A of magnitude 7.6 and 3C273 in the constellation of the Virgin of magnitude 12.8. The latter photographed here on the left is more than 2 billion light-years away and to see it one would think that it is close to the Milky Way. You see it as it was here … 2 billion years ago, when life appeared on Earth! Today this quasar has no doubt disappeared.

Despite being located very far in the universe, quasars are often as bright as 1000 galaxies! In fact astronomers believe that the quasars owe their intense energy and sometimes radioelectric energy to the activity of a huge black hole that would hide in their core. But how do we know that it would be a hole black since we do not see it?

As a reminder, a black hole is a star that has collapsed on itself and is a few kilometers in diameter. But its attraction is so strong that it captures everything that passes near it, even 100 billion kilometers, including the stars. After billions of years, by capturing stars and gas, it can become gigantic and reach millions of kilometers in diameter.

It is black and therefore invisible because it prevents even the light from leaving its surface. However, all the gas he captures wraps around him like a swirl, revealing his presence in space.

Thus you can see below a galaxy (the gray part) in the center of which is a bright yellow-orange ring (on the right magnification). And the black hole, invisible and tiny on this scale, is right in the middle of the picture. It is he who has formed the ring and who is sucking all the material that it contains through the small bright swirl that you see in the center!

The black hole is the only star that can create enough energy to explain the intense radiation of the quasars and other galaxies whose nucleus is very bright and very active.

Astronomers have discovered many galaxies that seem to harbor black holes; all have either a very bright nucleus or emit jets of matter very suspicious at very great distances. It has been found in the Great Cloud of Magellan, in the Andromeda galaxy M31, in the heart of the galaxy “Sombrero” M104, that of M82, etc. There would even be a small black hole in the heart of the Milky Way.

As we will see in the next chapter, in the future these black holes will grow and probably absorb all the stars and even all the galaxies in the universe.

Salom hammaga, shaxsan o’zim deyarli yarim yildan beri o’ynayman, shuning uchun fikrimni yozib qo’yay dedim. To’g’risi, boshida shubha bilan qaragandim — bizda bunaqa saytlar ko’p, ko’pchiligi to’lovda ming bahona qiladi. Ammo 888starz menda hozircha muammo tug’dirmadi.

O’yinlar tomonini aytsam, tanlov juda keng — menimcha 5000dan oshadi, aniq sanamadim. Asosan Pragmatic Play o’yinlarini aylantiraman: Gates of Olympus va Sweet Bonanza klassika, gohida Play’n GO ning Book of Dead ga o’tib turaman. NetEnt va Yggdrasil dan ham yetarlicha bor, faqat ularni kamroq o’ynayman. Live qismi alohida gap — Evolution studiyasi, tirik dilerlar, Crazy Time bo’lsa ishdan keyin dam olishga zo’r.

Xush kelibsiz bonusi masalasi ancha munosib: birinchi depozitga 100 foiz qo’shimcha plyus 200 frispin tushadi. Faqat shartga e’tibor bering — ko’pincha x35 chamasi, demak tezda chiqarolmaysiz, shoshilmaslik kerak. Men birinchi safar qoidalarni to’liq ko’rmay olgandim, keyin afsuslandim. Amaldagi takliflarni 888starz uz skachat orqali tekshirib olishingiz mumkin, pul tashlashdan avval shu foydali bo’ladi.

Pul kirim-chiqimi haqida: Visa va Mastercard bemalol o’tadi, Skrill bilan Neteller ham bor, kripto ham qabul qilinadi — o’zim ko’proq USDT dan foydalanaman, chunki kutish kam. Eng kam summa kichkina, taxminan 20 000 so’m chamasi desa ham bo’ladi. Yaqinda chiqarib oldim — kriptoga yarim soatda tushdi, karta bilan bo’lsa bir kunga yaqin kutishga to’g’ri keldi.

Telefon versiyasi to’g’risida ikki og’iz: rasmiy sahifadan apk faylni olish mumkin, Android da bemalol ishlaydi, iPhone uchun ham yo’l topilgan, lekin biroz murakkabroq. Brauzerda ham normal ochiladi, ilova esa tezroq tuyuldi. Menga bezor qilgan narsa — verifikatsiya biroz cho’zildi, uch kunga yaqin kutdim, support esa rus tilida yaxshi javob beradi, o’zbek tilida gohida sekinroq. Litsenziya Curacao dan, demak xalqaro standart — kimdir bunga e’tiroz bildiradi, men uchun shu ham yetarli, chunki pul chiqarishda kamchilik ko’rmadim.

Продолжительный запой приводит к накоплению токсинов в организме, нарушению работы внутренних органов и развитию серьезных осложнений. Чем дольше человек находится в состоянии алкогольной интоксикации, тем выше риск повреждения сердца, печени и почек. Экстренное вмешательство позволяет оперативно вывести токсины, восстановить нормальные обменные процессы и предотвратить развитие хронических заболеваний.
