What is the difference between a quasar and a pulsar?

Question

You know... stars and stuff.

Answer 1

Pulsars are highly magnetized rotating neutron stars and emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of radio waves.

Quasars are powerful and distant active galactic necleus, they have sources of radio waves but visable light aswell.

Basically, Pulsars = Neutron Stars

               Quasars = Galactic Center [where the black hole is]  

Answer 2

A quasar is a galaxy with a super massive black hole in the center feeding upon gas, stars and anything else that gets too close to it's event horizon. These black holes can have billions of times more mass than the Sun, yet they are smaller than our Solar System. They can emit the energy of a 1,000 normal galaxies as long as there's gas, dust and stars for the black hole to feed on.

Pulsars are not black holes, but the dead cores of stars that exploded as supernovae.  They are neutron stars whose magnetic poles sweep past us, and as they spin we see a pulse of radiation emitted from charged particles trapped in their magnetic fields. They are far less powerful than a quasar, and cannot be detected across the Universe whereas a quasar can be seen from the edge of the observable Universe.
