The Brightest Star in the night sky is, undoubtedly Sirius star system.
But, the brighest objects of the Universe are the Quasars. Quasars draw their energy from the blackholes, i.e., Quasars are powered by the Blackholes. Quasars are known to emit energy thousands of times the energy released by an entire galaxies. Quasars are immensely bright and immensely powerful.
The 3C 273 Quasar, located in the constellation Virgo is the brightest Quasar.
The light from 3C-273 easily outshines the light coming from the stars of our Galaxy.
The Quasar is located at a distance of 2.5 billion light years. It was discovered by Allan Sandage. The Quasar, 3C-273 is about 4 trillion times brighter than our Sun!
Quasars are not just bright, but also huge! The mass of the Quasar is estimated to be around 886 ± 187 solar masses.
The name 3C-273 indicates that it is the 273'd object in the third Cambridge Catalogue of radio sources.
