M106: A Spiral Galaxy with a Strange Center

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

What is happening at the center of spiral galaxy M106? This swirling disk of stars and gas is dominated by blue spiral arms and red dust lanes near its nucleus. The core of M106 glows brightly in radio waves and X-rays, where twin jets run the length of the galaxy. Its unusual central glow makes M106 one of the closest examples of a Seyfert galaxy.
