Pulsating thing (6)

I believe the answer is:

quasar

(Other definitions for quasar that I've seen before include "Remote radiation source" , "Distant, mystery sky object" , "Star-like object" , "Intense star-like source of light and radio waves" , "Celestial object emitting great energy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
