3) The PKS 2155 - 304 is one of the Brightest Blazar in the Sky.

Blazar - in Brief

First of all, these are a sort of Quasar that can Create Gamma Ray Bursts So often, and they shoot Their Jets towards Earth's Direction.

These Are a kind of AGNs which Emits High Energy Relativistic Jets Composed By Ionized Matter Which Travels Nearly Speed of Light They Often Shoot Their Jets from Minute to Hours or Days even in several Years For Hours to Days and create Dramatic Event in space.

If you Wanna know How Powerful an AGN's Jets is, Just Think A Very Powerful Earth's sky Lightning Flash or Ribbon Like Structure (A kind of Plasma) Which is As hot as Sun's Surface Thus These things are Nearly made Similarly But Earth is Very weak as compare to a Blazar Since These Carry Radio Properties So Our Radio Depended Equipment Take Damage. If Earth Faces a Blazar's Jet, Its Magnetic Field Feels a Strong Shock. Their Jets Can Tear Apart Galaxie,s SThey Are Much More Powerful Than a Regular Quasar.
