Quasars, blazars, black holes ????????

This is a comment I found in one online article about the universe. If your online skills are really good, you should be able to track it. Anyone up to the challenge?

"Interesting that quasars and blazars likely are the same phenomenon. I remember when quasars were first discovered (yes, I am a living fossil). They were the farthest observable objects in the known universe; thus, they were ranked among the oldest cosmic features.
If quasars and blazars really are the same, I wonder if that might be a clue about the way in which the universe is formed. It seems to me that blazars and quasars may be evidence of a continuum of mini-big bangs, in an open-ended time line.
Maybe there was no single Big Bang. Maybe the Cosmic Party has always been going on, and maybe it always will.

There is new information coming up everyday about the universe. Amazing!!! A couple of months ago there was this article in the front page of Yahoo about some physicists in Switzerland who are trying to recreate the conditions of the Big Bang.

Susana recommended this video (you need a really really fast connection, though, and it lasts 7:44 min.) She also mentioned this interactive page on black holes (let´s see if you can find one mentioned in our quiz).

Cesar just shared this 23 second video about a quasar. I wonder what happened in second number 12 ... And Edgard this one about an exploding star.

Estefanía has suggested this video about truths and lies about Black Holes and José Mauricio this one of a new black hole.
