That's a great 15 minute PBS video about Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) and quasars, pulsars, blasars, etc. Lots of detail and pictures by an expert in a very short time. In particular he discusses an AGN that changed directions and is now pointed directly at earth!

"Scientists have unlocked one of the biggest mysteries of quasars -- the brightest, most powerful objects in the Universe -- by discovering that they are ignited by galaxies colliding."
Can a quasar escape a black hole once it crosses the event horizon? Is a quasar more powerful than a Gamma Ray Burst? Is it more powerful than the Big Bang?

Great questions for further research!
And let's add, could superman fly at the speed of light?
