GIANT RADIO JET COMING FROM WRONG KIND OF GALAXY
These are composite images of the galaxy 0313-192, the first
spiral galaxy known to be producing a giant radio-emitting
jet. The image at left represents two views of the galaxy
that astronomers have combined into one photograph. The view
of the galaxy and its surrounding environment was taken by
the Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys.
The red material in the image represents the radio-emitting
jet, which was taken by the Very Large Array. The galaxy
is seen edge-on. At right is a close-up of the Hubble
telescope image. Another red overlay from a higher-
resolution Very Large Array picture shows the inner portion
of the jet.
