Jets generated by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies can transport huge amounts of energy across great distances.
3C353 is a wide, double-lobed source where the galaxy is the tiny point in the center and giant plumes of radiation can be seen in X-rays from Chandra (purple) and radio data from the Very Large Array (orange).
