Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Milky Way has a quasar at its center?

No. A reference source states the Milky Way does not have an active center and shows no quasar-like activity, and other items identify the Galactic Center as a supermassive black hole (Sgr A*) rather than a quasar.
