It's just which angle you're seeing it from (i.e. staring directly into a car's headlights versus looking at the car from the side as it drives past). What we initially called a quasar is when you happen to be looking directly into an active galaxy's polar jet. | |

| Jun 2, 2023 at 18:47 | comment | added | eshaya | I can't find any peer reviewed article saying a quasar would destroy all life in its galaxy. I did find articles about quasars stopping star births in the inner few kpc. Since we are here, we can deduce that either the MW has not hosted a quasar in the last billion years, or quasars do not destroy all life in its galaxy. Most likely the term quasar is being used loosely as well. | |

| Oct 10, 2022 at 22:37 | comment | added | CJ Dennis | Humans (any Homo species, not just Homo sapiens) started evolving about 3.3 - 2.8 million years ago. Obviously we had ancestors that were alive 6 million years ago, but we wouldn't describe them as human or even proto-human yet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution | |
| Oct 10, 2022 at 13:53 | comment | added | Darrel Hoffman | Given that we currently know of exactly one galaxy with life in it (and only on one planet in one star system at that), a claim that all life is necessarily destroyed some other galaxy is mere speculation. | |

Replaced "million" with numericals, to avoid confusion with billion

| Oct 8, 2022 at 19:07 | comment | added | antlersoft | Also, the central black hole in the Milky Way isn't very large as supermassive blackholes go, so even when active we aren't going to have the most brightest galactic nuculeus. | |

| Oct 8, 2022 at 7:50 | comment | added | ProfRob | Hard to answer a straw man argument. Clearly the Milky Way "AGN" was not powerful enough to disrupt life on Earth. Your question would benefit from cited (reputable) sources that say Earth should have been turned "into a barren wasteland". | |
