COSMIC MESSAGE

Hercules A, a seemingly normal elliptical galaxy in visible light, emits spectacular plasma jets over a million light-years long in radio waves. These jets likely originate from an active supermassive black hole at its center. The central galaxy, 3C 348, is over 1,000 times more massive than the Milky Way.
