M87: Elliptical Galaxy with Jet

NASA APOD · Adam Block
COSMIC MESSAGE

Spiral galaxies have majestic winding arms of young stars, gas, and dust rotating in a flat disk. Elliptical galaxies, like M87, are simpler, lacking gas and dust to form new stars. Their randomly swarming older stars give them an ellipsoidal shape. M87 is over 120,000 light-years in diameter, larger than our own Milky Way.
