"Hubble Telescope Uncovers Rare Radio Galaxy with Luminous Heart"

TL;DR Summary
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of lenticular galaxy NGC 612, which is an active galaxy with a supermassive black hole at its center. The galaxy's central region is incredibly energetic, spewing out jets of gas at nearly the speed of light and outshining the combined light of every star in the galaxy. NGC 612 is also a Seyfert galaxy, emitting large amounts of infrared radiation. This rare non-elliptical galaxy is believed to have had a past interaction with a companion spiral galaxy, and it is one of only five known radio-emitting lenticular galaxies.
